This is the version that it tries to install, you need to use '=' to
include that version:
>=app-text/poppler-24.10.0

The php8-1 target is masked (the parantheses around that flag in your
output). You either need to move to a newer php version, or unmask
this flag for this package (using
/etc/portage/profile/package.use.mask or equivalent).
