I'm not sure if this is a valid bug or what the general policy is in these cases. I just took a quick look, nodejs-7.10 is available on github, maybe it is fixed there.

I can confirm this bug. I can't install both at the same time too
Comment 2 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-06-13 14:47:38 UTC
It would be nice if nodejs didn't cause that downgrade, so assigning accordingly.

  nodejs-0.6.18.ebuild, nodejs-0.7.8.ebuild:
  Limiting v8 dep to avoid crashes #417879


We'll have to keep that dependency until node.js upstream releases properly fixed versions.
