So you have sys-kernel/suspend2-sources-2.6.19-r3 still installed, 
probably left over from some emerge in the past. It wants 
~sys-apps/suspend2-userui-0.6.4, probably because only that version 
worked with the kernel sources in the devs opinion. This kernel version 
and ui version is no longer in portage so they cannot be emerged

You are using 2.6.22-suspend2, with these DEPENDs:
RDEPEND="${RDEPEND}
                >=sys-apps/suspend2-userui-0.7.1
                >=sys-power/hibernate-script-1.95"

That userui is in portage, so all you need is:

emerge -C =sys-kernel/suspend2-sources-2.6.19-r3

and everything should resolve.

Well, it won't fix your sylpheed-claws which is also not in portage, but 
that's another matter :-)
