I am still in trouble here:

emerge -avC 

says, that there no packages found with the name <package-name> (for
example "=kdegraphics-3.5.9" oder "kdegraphics").

emerge -av depclean fails with:
solfire:/root>emerge --depclean

*** WARNING ***  Depclean may break link level dependencies.  Thus, it is

Calculating dependencies... done!

Dependencies could not be completely resolved due to
the following required packages not being installed:

Have you forgotten to run `emerge --update --newuse --deep world` prior to
depclean?  It may be necessary to manually uninstall packages that no longer
exist in the portage tree since it may not be possible to satisfy their
dependencies.  Also, be aware of the --with-bdeps option that is documented
in `man emerge`.

 * GNU info directory index is up-to-date.

and the suggested 
emerge --update --newuse --deep world

fails due to blocking packages.

...sigh.
