First, please don't top post. It makes your posts illegible as I can't 
tell in what order who said what. And probably stop using Outlook 
Express as well. That POS hasn't gotten around to figuring out yet that 
text mails go up to column 80 or so for a good reason. It's mangled 
your post by stripping out all the line breaks, making it doubly hard 
to read.

Onto your output. emerge wants to re-install ssmtp (I can't tell why), 
but can't because it conflicts with qmail which you already have 
installed. That's what the last two lines mean:
ssmtp won't install itself if qmail is already there,
qmail is complaining and won't let emerge install ssmtp for the same 
reason.

I suspect it's php wanting to pull in ssmtp, what I don't understand is 
why it wants to do that when qmail already provides virtual/mta.

Please rerun the emerge above ith the -t option so we can see what's 
going on.
