Okay.  I went to the working directory for the stable branch and said

        cvs update -jHEAD

and then I used `d E' from PCL-CVS on the files which had a conflict.
Inside that emerge, I always chose the `b' version (the one from the
repository).  Then I saved all files.  That seemed to do the trick.

It would still be interesting to know whether there would have been a
less manual method, though.
