emerge --resume
so long as you can still boot :) which you should be able to.
Otherwise, you may have to live-cd, chroot, emerge --resume.
DONT do any other emerge commands in between, otherwise it won't know
where to resume.

usually a "-p" to the emerge command you want to run will show you the
order. If you do reconstruct it by hand, make sure you use "--oneshot"
otherwise you'll put lots of entries you don't need into your world
file.

If you've updated the rest of your system to 3.4.5, then do the kernel
as well. Especially if you have proprietary modules, like vmware,
ati-drivers, etc; or extra modules like ndiswrapper. Make sure you
compile these modules after you compile your kernel, but before you
reboot.
IMHO `emerge -e world` isn't generally necessary to update gcc. Have
you read the gcc upgrade howto on the gentoo-wiki?
