I've seen similar problems when using emerge -D. Eliminating that seemed to solve the problem. Why?? Don't know.
Another good thought. But that doesn't fix my case. Observe this rediculous list even without the D(ependancies).

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

This is what I do when I'm trying to figure out what is dragging in a bunch of weird dependencies. Add the following line to /etc/portage/package.mask. If the file doesn't exist, create it.
sys-kernel/development-sources
When you figure out what's causing that one, try replacing that line with other things that emerge is trying to drag in.
