Not so much anymore...

One of the admins at work is having similar troubles with a machine not 
updated for a while. I didn't go through this on my notebook which is 
updated weekly, so perhaps I hit an ideal window of opportunity between 
commits. 

Let's look at this in more detail:

You have portage-2.1.2.2 and want to upgrade to 2.1.4.4
You have bash-3.1_p17 and want to upgrade to 3.2_33

bash-3.1_p17 has no DEPEND blockers
bash-3.2-p17-r1 has no DEPEND blockers
bash-3.2_p33 blocks <portage-2.1.4-rc1

portage-2.1.2.12 requires >=app-shells/bash-3.1_p17
portage-2.1.3.19 requires >=app-shells/bash-3.2_p17
portage-2.1.4.4  requires >=app-shells/bash-3.2_p17


Ignore the conditional blocker from portage as you should not have build 
in USE. Now aside from what on earth certain versions of portage have 
to do with certain versions of bash...

try this:

emerge bash-3.2-p17-r1
emerge portage
emerge bash
