I think you mean equery depends, not emerge.  It is broken on my
~amd64 system, but a ~x86 system shows himerge.

I demerged himerge and now it comes down to this:

!!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

x11-proto/printproto:0

  ('ebuild', '/', 'x11-proto/printproto-1.0.3', 'merge') pulled in by
    @world
    ('ebuild', '/', 'x11-base/xorg-server-1.4.2', 'merge')

  ('ebuild', '/', 'x11-proto/printproto-1.0.4', 'merge') pulled in by
    @world
    ('ebuild', '/', 'x11-libs/libXprintUtil-1.0.1', 'merge')
    ('ebuild', '/', 'x11-apps/xdpyinfo-1.0.3', 'merge')
    (and 7 more)

I proably wouldn't miss xdpyinfo much, but other packages depend on it
and I've been down that road of cascading demerges before.  I am not
going to demerge xorg-server.  I am not sure where to go from here.
