For the record, I did an `equery depends php` and got swig and base and one other package (don't remember - probably something I didn't need anyway). ;-) Anyhoo, once these packages were uninstalled, I was able to update normally. I think base was the clinger, but I don't know for sure. I haven't tried it yet (that's the project for today), but I'm going to go back and, hopefully get those packages back on there.
