I have an old Gentoo system that hasn't been updated or used at all in

portage but I thought I should check with you guys before I plow ahead
with emerge -DuN world. It won't be used for anything until I bring
it up to speed and someone can physically log in and issue commands a
couple times per week so an outage isn't the end of the world. Any
advice?

You will likely pull in the 'new' OpenRC ebuild during your update
process (sys-apps/open-rc i believe). Watch out for this!
If you merge it you must make sure all your configs are up to date in
/etc or your server won't come back following a restart (etc-update,
dispatch-conf, etc.). You'll want to move over any settings in
/etc/conf.d/rc to /etc/rc.conf.

Good luck.
