sys-boot/syslinux-6.04_pre1-r3 hard depends on the open source variant of upx: bios? ( app-arch/upx app-text/asciidoc dev-lang/nasm ) while gentoo has upx-bin with a slightly different feature set available. This clashes with tsmuxer, which due to an outdated useflag currently hard depends on upx-bin, so a side by side installation of both packages is impossible. A useful alternative might be bios?

Maybe a virtual/upx would be helpful too? :)
Related to https://bugs.gentoo.org/691814. While "|| ( app-arch/upx app-arch/upx-bin )" is a viable solution, in fact, tsmuxer should be updated to 2.6.16, where there no upx{,-bin} dependency at all.
(In reply to Azamat H. Hackimov from comment #2) If anything, to a nightly, see https://bugs.gentoo.org/783519 I think the dep should still be there for either flavor of upx, as while a quick grep shows only syslinux and tsmuxer as consumers, there might be more reasons to have both. The only other potential consumer seems app-backup/dar, which just hard disables upx support.
