udev-181 merge is blocked because :

[blocks B      ] sys-apps/module-init-tools
("sys-apps/module-init-tools" is blocking sys-apps/kmod-7)
[blocks B      ] sys-apps/kmod ("sys-apps/kmod" is blocking
sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.16-r1)

 * Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be

  (sys-apps/kmod-7::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
    >=sys-apps/kmod-5 required by (sys-fs/udev-181::gentoo, ebuild
scheduled for merge)

  (sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.16-r1::gentoo, installed) pulled in by
    >=sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.2 required by
(virtual/modutils-0::gentoo, installed)

Googling, it looks like kmod is the replacement for module-init-tools,
so it should just work, unless of course any packages explicitly
depend on module-init-tools instead of the virtual...

However, module-init-tools is part of system profile and I get the
scary red text and 10-second countdown when I try to unmerge, so I
chickened out and did a ctrl-c. :)

Have any of you already changed from module-init-tools to kmod?
Anything to be afraid of? It's a remote machine and I can boot rescue
CD if it breaks, but I'd rather not have to do that.
