I believe that the versions of packages listed at http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/pkgs/index.xml are the ones which will be "emerged" by default - the latest "stable according to Gentoo" versions.
The other site (http://gentoo-stable.iq-computing.de/) will give you all of the currently available Gentoo versions of a package - click on the search results to see their status. e.g. The current versions of gimp gave....

Also note that there are often very good reasons for running software versions other than the very latest available--these can be for security, stability, and correctness reasons.
