install libpng-1.6 with "--nodeps" first, then the blocker will go away seems like portage can't handle this situation, although there is no logical reason for the blocker
This is the same issue that was reported in bug 465356, comment #15. It's fixed in 2.1.11.61 and 2.2.0_alpha172 by this commit: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=62dbcaa4d873784f1082c184668fcdc34392925b

Just use `emerge -1 portage` to update portage to at least 2.1.11.61 or 2.2.0_alpha172, and it will solve the blockers automatically.
I confirm portage-2.1.11.62 solves this issue - thank you!
