A couple notes.
If you are upgrading from xfree, you will first have to
emerge -C xfree

Please look at 
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=174481
for more information, and maybe also
http://dev.gentoo.org/~fmccor/

 
And, if you are replacing xfree with xorg, please do change your
font paths an cursor paths.  Although the upgrade process tries to
help with this, etc-update is going to give you 239 or so files
to look at, and the only one you probably care about is XF86Config.

Regards,
Ferris
