The developers strive to make properly working as automatic as possible 
upgrade paths when major things change.
At the moment there are no 'coming releases', gentoo is a living breathing 
animal which is constantly being updated and evolving all the time.
emerge sync and emerge world -u and you are as upto date at the next guy.

With skill and care there are almost no senarios which would require a 
reinstall from scratch. Hardware issues aside.
