I think that the default action should be that such 'breakages' should
be checked during the dependency building phase, a message displayed and
the emerge stop[0]. Then you could either mask the offending package or
issue a special flag[1] to emerge to acknowledge the 'problem' but
install/upgrade the package anyway.

[0] As with package blockers.

[1] A new flag, something like '--unsafe'
