In case you have net-misc/cisco-vpnclient-3des-4.0.5 installed, add
the line
>net-misc/cisco-vpnclient-3des-4.0.5
to /etc/portage/package.mask . This will prevent higher versions from
being installed. 'man portage' gives more information.

You can continue afterwards with 'emerge --resume --skipfirst'.
When doing huge updates while being away from the computer, I do it
like this:
emerge world -ua || emerge --resume --skipfirst || emerge --resume --
skipfirst || emerge --resume --skipfirst || emerge --resume --
skipfirst || emerge --resume --skipfirst
