Here are just a few notes from my current Gentoo update session:

• eselect profile list - Need to update to the newest "10.0" profile, specifically the "desktop" profile. INFORMATION
• KDE 4 guide
  • Nice 4.3 post
• libxcb update
• rm /var/cache/revdep-rebuild/*.rr
• Convert ext3 to ext2 for the solidstate netboot
• Verify /etc/localtime (diff with /usr/share/zoneinfo/...) and update /etc/conf.d/clock (see gentoo handbook chap 8 Configuring your System).
• for problems with e2fsprogs and harddrive/file timestamp issues (files edited in the future) see this
  • OR, install the stable version of e2fsprogs and sandbox.  Later problems with libblkkid.so.1 require a "revdep-rebuild"
• add "emergency" to grub to boot into single user mode (or "s", "S", "single", or "-b")
• sdl-image update error (no solution yet) - trying by doing -gif and -mmx for sdl-gfx
