I was mistaken, there are only four installed. I was somewhat aware of the 
why, but my concern lay in qpkg's lies:
# qpkg -q -I -nc db
sys-libs/db-3.2.9-r6
DEPENDED ON BY:
        perl-5.8.1-r2
        python-2.2.3-r3
        postfix-2.0.16-r1
        libperl-5.8.1
sys-libs/db-1.85-r1
DEPENDED ON BY:
        perl-5.8.1-r2
        python-2.2.3-r3
        postfix-2.0.16-r1
        libperl-5.8.1
sys-libs/db-4.0.14-r2
DEPENDED ON BY:
        perl-5.8.1-r2
        python-2.2.3-r3
        postfix-2.0.16-r1
        libperl-5.8.1
sys-libs/db-4.1.25_p1-r2
DEPENDED ON BY:
        perl-5.8.1-r2
        python-2.2.3-r3
        postfix-2.0.16-r1
        libperl-5.8.1

IIRC, these four, which represents the sum of stuff I have linked to db, call 
for db3 in the ebuilds. I dont mind testing the new, if something I used 
linked to it, and I am used to seeing at least the two copies that have been 
haunting for awhile(db1.85 and db3), but would it be possible to find out 
truthfully what is actually linked and to unmerge/mask/crucify the others?
