What do you mean by running a very new portage versus an older portage?

I know the difference between stable and the ~amd64 unstable sign.
However, how do I specify, or know that I am running at least the most 
recent stable version of portage?

I was under the impression that when I did the following

'emerge --sync; emerge portage; emerge --update --deep --newuse 
world;revdep-rebuild;revdep-rebuild'

that portage was brought up to date and all packages with it?

I have to find time to look over more of the Gentoo docs to see what 
regular maintenance I need to keep up on.
