OK, Ive managed to proceed a little further, but now Im encountering this:

# emerge -uDtpvk world

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been 
pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

dev-php/PEAR-PEAR:0

   ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-php/PEAR-PEAR-1.9.0', 'merge') pulled in by
     >=dev-php/PEAR-PEAR-1.6.1 required by ('installed', '/', 
'dev-php/PEAR-Net_Socket-1.0.8', 'nomerge')
     >=dev-php/PEAR-PEAR-1.6.1 required by ('installed', '/', 
'dev-php/PEAR-Mail-1.1.14', 'nomerge')
     dev-php/PEAR-PEAR required by world
     (and 1 more)

   ('installed', '/', 'dev-php/PEAR-PEAR-1.6.2-r1', 'nomerge') pulled in by
     <dev-php/PEAR-PEAR-1.8.1 required by ('installed', '/', 
'dev-php/PEAR-Net_SMTP-1.2.10', 'nomerge')
     <dev-php/PEAR-PEAR-1.8.1 required by ('installed', '/', 
'dev-php/PEAR-Mail-1.1.14', 'nomerge')
     dev-php/PEAR-PEAR required by world
     (and 1 more)
