As reported in OP, I sshed in and stopped the start of hald.. that allowed boot to continue to login prompt but no mouse and keyboard. So a login shell won't be useful for now. > Did you run etc-update, or whatever config update tool you prefer, after > the updates? You may also want to emerge the old version of hal and try > that.

As reported in OP, I actually wasn't done with the follup chores to an update, and shutdown from a remote due to absentminded pea brainedness. I'm doing that now via ssh. Maybe things will improve...
