Ah, this is a standard problem to encounter when you're updating from 2007.0 to a recently synced repository. I think this would affect anyone doing an emerge --deep --update world, actually. Remove the aspell package, install the aspell-en package, and you'll be fine. I'll add a note that you might run into this problem, and how to work around it, in the wiki.
