I'm guessing that you have config files that need updating. etc update
is the tool for this or dispatch-conf which I find better...

Search forums.gentoo.org for the dispatch-conf how-to and get that going
- be careful though, many people (me included) have hosed their system
be selecting the wrong settings - back up first, again dispatch-conf
does this but I would copy etc off elsewhere just in case...
