Oh !! Another thing... I suggest you to use an "automatic" update, like
"emerge -vuDp world", see what will happen, and if everything is okay, try
"emerge -vuD world".
If you do one by one, then you'll may have packages broken, because you
don't know dependency tree by heart, so you should portage work for you.
I'd do:
[*] emerge -vu portage
[*] emerge -vuDp world
[*] if everything went OK: emerge -vuD world
[*] revdep-rebuild --pretend
[*] revdep-rebuild
