Try unmerging each individually, as it will show you the problem
package.  From the error you got in the traceback, it looked like
something was trying to perform an emerge operation on a
version-specific package without using a version operator.

For example, you can "emerge --unmerge kde-base/kdegraphics" but you
can't "emerge --unmerge kde-base/kdegraphics-3.3.2-r2" without putting
an "=" before the package like "emerge --unmerge
=kde-base/kdegraphics-3.3.2-r2".

Now, you obviously did not do that, so it must be a bug in the ebuild
somewhere.  It should be easier to locate if you do each package
individually.
