Hi, Technically, you should remove the old one before merging the new one. (Hint: You might want to build a binary package of it in case merging the new one fails - check quickpkg command).
You could try to cheat, at your own risk, by using the --nodeps option. Or do the non-risky: quickpkg old_ebuild emerge --nodeps --buildpkgonly new_ebuild emerge -aC old_ebuild emerge --(the option to use the bin pkg) new_ebuild Just depends how fast is your computer and if you need it... xorg unmerged means can no longer start X applications and on my iBook, it takes ~3 hours to build it.
