The ebuilds for an application specify what it needs or
provides. Check an ebuild and man 5 ebuild.

Not sure where portage looks up the dependencies, either
from
/usr/portage , /var/db/pkg or /var/cache/edb. Are the
other packages
also updated ? When not they won't complain.
If that is true, and since I've masked all versions of
postfix in
portage, then why doesn't it attempt to install
net-mail/ssmtp?
Instead it dumps the error message I quoted previously,
notably saying
that "!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "virtual/mta"
have been
masked."
I think that is because you still have a "virtual/mail
net-mail/postfix"
in your /var/cache/edb/virtuals, so a virtual/mta package
is installed
and there's no need to install another one.
I'm still searching for the missing link, either in my
knowledge or in
the behaviour of this mod_php ebuild.
My portage knowledge is also not complete yet.
