First of all I've no idea about qmail. But the command:
      emerge -C mail-mta/netqmail or emerge -C mail-mta/qmail
wont work because both packages are not installed on your
system. As for the netqmail blocking qmail and vice versa try
adding mailwrapper use flag (as said before I've no idea about
qmail).

Hope someone with better knowledge about qmail replies.
