OK. emerge -1vpt sys-power/upower-pm-utils gives me:
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

. Taking a hint from the emerge man page, and adding --update, I get:

Total: 5 packages (3 upgrades, 2 new), Size of downloads: 6,110 kB
, which seems like what I wanted in the first place.
Then again, I call
emerge -1vpuND --color y --tree sys-power/upower-pm-utils 2>&1 | less -F
, things go pear shaped again, with:
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:
Calculating dependencies .... ............. .. .... .............. ....
done!
!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:
dev-lang/perl:0

>=dev-lang/perl-5.16 required by (dev-perl/XML-Parser-2.410.0::gentoo,

(no parents that aren't satisfied by other packages in this slot)
What the heck is going on, when a package management system can't even
make a decision on which version of perl to use, and stick to that
decision? And it can only be described as a bug, that the gobbledegook
"(no parents that aren't satisfied by other packages in this slot)"
passes for a supposedly informative message.
Anyhow, thanks indeed for the help. Maybe, someday in the distant
future, I'll succeed in updating my Gentoo system after all.
Have a great evening!
