I upgraded to openrc 10 days ago and didn't notice anything untoward, but after a few days Firefox 3.6.17 started reporting that it couldn't find Flash. (I only use Flash for the BBC I-Player service.) I tried Opera, Chrome and Seamonkey, and they either said the same or just sat and looked at me when asked to stream audio. I tried re-merging adobe-flash and nspluginwrapper a couple of times and now the audio streaming runs, but I'm suffering random lockups when cycling desktops, and I think I remember reading that Flash does sometimes cause lockups. I'm thinking of removing everything flash and substituting gnash or something, because I do like to listen to the radio. This is an amd64 box.
