diff is your friend here. Both profiles have the same grandparent so
there are just a few pairs of files to run diff on (omitting the
headers and comments). Unfortunately the right hand file name in the
diff output is marked with a ">" which will upset your mailer's quote
tracking :-( :

Summary: You get a few extra USE flags by default (which you can
explicitly override in make.conf), cdrkit is the default cdrtools
package, and the .bashrc for the shell that portage uses has had some
syntax corrected to a better form.
Chances are you are already using acpi, pdf, svg and tiff USE flags so
these will cause no change if you upgrade your profile. The few
packages in the tree that USE kerberos may need to be recompiled if
this flag changes for you
