Apparently, though unproven, at 22:10 on Thursday 18 November 2010, Mick did

You have a mixture of vapier's overlay from layman and barberi's overlay from 
enlightenment.org, evas and ecore changed category from x11-libs to dev-libs 
in barberi's overlay. You can't have both, they conflict. Do this:

delete the vapier overlay - it's WAAAAAAAAAAAAY outdated
accept conf-update changes related to e17
install the efl overlay from enlightenment.org - it's currently maintained
delete any and all e17 packages.
emerge @e17

keep in mind for the future that you can't update the e17 packages why they 
are at version 9999. You must update the entire lot, in order, anytime you 
want to update anything. This is normal for -9999 packages
