I interpreted this as "all of them are going to be removed".
Anyway, "equery d oauth2client" lists gcs-oauth2-boto-plugin,
google-apitools, and google-reauth-python as well (which are
dependencies of gsutil). So even the removal of oauth2client
alone would break gsutil.
BTW, all of them have only python_targets_python3_9 and 3_10.
Currenty I have Python 3.10 and 3.11 installed, and "eselect
python list" says "3.11 3.10" (in that order). Why does gsutil
work anyway? Automatic fallback to 3.10?
I guess I must not ever deinstall Python 3.10 in order to keep
this running?

Fair enough - so the issue is really with dev-python/oauth2client which
does look abandoned. That's the package you really need to keep a local
copy of but that really looks like it could break at any time.
However the README from that package states:-
"Note: oauth2client is now deprecated. No more features will be added to
the libraries and the core team is turning down support. We recommend
you use google-auth and oauthlib. For more details on the deprecation,
see oauth2client deprecation."
Portage has google-auth and friends.
Note that gsutil itself is still being maintained (at
https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gsutil) and as it's the
"official" Google package then is already likely to work with the latest
access methods.
Worst case uninstall the portage gsutil and look into installing gsutil
into /usr/local from the official GoogleCloud site above. I'd expect
Portage's gsutil to catch up at some point.
IMO installing local copies of gsutil with broken dependency packages
and then maintaining them looks like a potential world of pain !
