I would say that if you do a complete world update at least every six
months, followed by revdep-rebuild, keeping Gentoo up-to-date should be
relatively painless, excluding all the blockers you have to resolve.
ie.:
emerge -uDNav world
revdep-rebuild -i -- -a

The libselinux problems you ran into are known, but that's also the
reason why libselinux is masked on all recent profiles.
