This lead me down a path.  Here is the info you requested:

root@fireball / # emerge -pv lvm2

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild     UD ] sys-apps/util-linux-2.24.1-r3::gentoo [2.26.1::gentoo]
USE="bash-completion%* cramfs ncurses nls pam static-libs* suid udev
unicode -caps -cytune% -fdformat -python (-selinux) -slang {-test}
-tty-helpers (-systemd%)" ABI_X86="(64) (-32) (-x32)"
PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python2_7 -python3_3 -python3_4"
PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_3 -python3_4" 0 KiB
[ebuild   R    ] sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.109::gentoo  USE="readline static thin
udev (-clvm) (-cman) -device-mapper-only -lvm1 -lvm2create_initrd
(-selinux) -static-libs -systemd" 0 KiB

Total: 2 packages (1 downgrade, 1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 KiB

The following USE changes are necessary to proceed:
 (see "package.use" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
# required by sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.109::gentoo[static]
# required by @selected
# required by @world (argument)
=sys-apps/util-linux-2.24.1-r3 static-libs
root@fireball / #

It seems at some point, I did have a USE flag in package.use that was
version specific.  I usually remove the version stuff and let it apply
to all version.  Usually if you need a USE flag for one version, you
will need it for the upgrade as well.  So, after removing the version
info, I try again.  Similar message tho.  I then keyword lvm2, thinking
it may need a newer version.  Then I get this crypted message. 

root@fireball / # emerge -uvaDN world -t

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Calculating dependencies \

!!! Problem resolving dependencies for sys-fs/lvm2 from @selected
... done!

!!! The ebuild selected to satisfy "sys-fs/lvm2" has unmet requirements.
- sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.110::gentoo USE="readline static thin udev -clvm
-cman -device-mapper-only -lvm1 -lvm2create_initrd (-selinux)
-static-libs -systemd" ABI_X86="64"

  The following REQUIRED_USE flag constraints are unsatisfied:
    static? ( !udev )

  The above constraints are a subset of the following complete expression:
    device-mapper-only? ( !clvm !cman !lvm1 !lvm2create_initrd !thin )
systemd? ( udev ) static? ( !udev )

(dependency required by "@selected" [set])
(dependency required by "@world" [argument])
root@fireball / # emerge -vp eudev

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ~] sys-fs/eudev-2.1.1::gentoo  USE="gudev hwdb
introspection keymap kmod modutils rule-generator static-libs -doc
(-selinux) {-test}" ABI_X86="(64) -32 (-x32)" 0 KiB

Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 KiB
root@fireball / #

I included emerge -vp eudev as well.  It seems it doesn't like something
about its USE flag.  I see static-libs in the USE list tho.  I had to do
that a while back.  I think it had something to do with me having a
seperate /usr and trying to avoid the init thingy.  I think. 

Jeepers.
