Run emerge --deep -v -p to see if there's a couple of updated/removed apps
that have left libs cruft behind and need to be removed. I can vaguely
remember going through something like this a few months ago (about
ImageMagick?), so if you do a gmane search you may find it - otherwise post
back and I'll see if I can find it.

I checked a number of them, and they were clearly orphans: the
libraries they were
associated with originally had ceased to exist, which makes sense because they
where also coordinated with KDE versions (3.2 and such) that I no longer have.
So I deleted the lot, and everything seems okay.
