I left mine set to 2.6 and it only rebuilt boost.  Then it wanted to 
rebuild it again.  So, I set it to 2.7 then ran python-update and it is 
rebuilding about 50 packages as I type.  Portage seems to be working 
here so not sure why you are having portage breaking. Do you have python 
3.1 installed as well?  I read somewhere, -dev I think, that portage is 
using 3.1.  That may not be correct tho.  Don't go to the bank and try 
to deposit that.  ;-)
