Ah, now I have an idea. I think the -u is the problem as it causes to upgrade dependencies IIRC (and --deep is to upgrade dependencies of dependencies). Because it sees that your installed version is not in the tree it tries all the avaiable ebuilds in the tree in descending order, but as you masked all available ebuilds it spits out the error. As I said in one of my previous posts I think your mask needs to be updated to allow the latest 1.x version of postfix to be installed (hava a look at /usr/portage/net-mail/postfix).
