Try uninstalling the items that need pulseaudio-2[glib] (find replacements):

emerge --depclean -av gnome-base/gnome-control-center gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon

(Or use -C and you can clean dependencies later)

Then run emerge again.

You cannot mask >=pulseaudio-3 because it's long gone out of the tree.
