I've just tried to update the set system with emerge -avuND system and virtual/jdak wants to install icedtea6-bin, but i already have dev-java/sun-jdk-1.6.0.17 installed and don't want icedtea Calculating dependencies... done!

Ran into that myself, took a while before it occurred to me to ask portage why it is not happy with the installed jdk: emerge -pv =dev-java/sun-jdk-1.6.0.17 This was because the license does not match the default pattern "* -@EULA" enforced by >=portage-2.1.7; see bug 152593 for the three year discussion about that. Why portage selects the next alternative for the virtual instead of saying that an installed package is now masked by license I don't know, that seems to be tracked in bug 292752 Anyway, adding ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA dlj-1.1" to /etc/make.conf or dev-java/sun-jdk:1.6 dlj-1.1 to /etc/portage/package.license should clear this up.
Ok, so it's a new feature, i'll have to search some info about it, but i have a question, if it's a feature of the new version of portage (2.2) why am i seeing it in 2.1.7?

Because it was backported to 2.1.7 as well. However, in 2.1.7.5 it will now tell you that your already installed package became license masked so it should be clear what to do. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 292502 ***
