From the output you gave, I would suggest that you
1) update portage to the latest (evantually keyword masked) version. This
should be able to ignore blocks.
2) Adjust your VIDEO_CARDS, I don't think you have that many cards plugged
into your machine.
3) There seem to be blocks between monolithic and splitted kde/qt (kde*-meta)
ebuilds. Decide which ones to use and remove the others. qt you need to
eventually update separatedly, i.e. emerge qt.
4) update world with the "ignore blocks" option turned on (don't know which
that is, since I use paludis).
5) emerge --depclean (-p) to remove the cruft.
HTH...
