A python version jump in gentoo is always a horrible work:
Many ebuilds have not been updated and pull in unnecessarily
python 3.11. If you use any of these packages, you need a patched
version of them in your overlay.

The list is not complete, even less if you have USE=python in
some packages.

The most notable package is www-client/firefox which is the only
one which actually *needs* <python-3.12 - the others just have
a broken dependency declaration.

Note also that for quite another number of packages you need the
unstable version, because quite often the stable version
(falsely) claims to require <python-3.12. These are at least
(for xfcbe-base, it is actually only one ebuild, but updating
this requires to have also the other updated or you might
experience runtime errors):
