I have a notebook that I haven't updated for a while. After emerge
sync, it said to "emerge -1 portage". Trying to do so got me the
following as listed in the gzipped attachment. I'd really rather not re-install. Is there a way to get out of this?

From my very elementary and simplistic look at the log, have you been messing at all with python version related settings? (python_target
related flags)
It looks like the new portage needs the new version of some python
packages, but the older version of some of those packages is still
required by yet other packages.
Until/unless someone can suggest a more comprehensive approach (which
may be likely,) I would try upgrading those pythong packages included
in your upgrad - one at a time, trying to figure out which other
packages you need to upgrade first.

Looks like some packages want python 3.8 and some python 3.9. If you
emerge portage with USE="PYTHON_TARGETS: python3_8 -python3_9" first
and then again normally it might work.

You've been hit by the switch from Python 3.8 to 3.9 by the looks of it.
Try adding "sys-apps/portage python_targets_python3_8" to package.use.
You'll probably have to add a few more packages to this list to get world updated.

Thank you very much. Progress. I've managed to get portage-3.0.26-r6 built. My package.use currently has...
sys-apps/portage -rsync-verify python_targets_python3_8
dev-python/setuptool python_targets_python3_8
dev-python/setuptools python_targets_python3_8
dev-python/certifi python_targets_python3_8
dev-python/setuptools_scm python_targets_python3_8
dev-python/toml python_targets_python3_8
Can I remove the python flags now or should I do a world update first?

I'm no pro at this but I think if you update xinit and sysvinit first it
will clear that block. It could be the other way around tho. If init packages first doesn't work, try the display-manager-init first.
Sometimes emerge spits things out backwards.
One could remove those two *init packages but if you are actually
running that install, it could cause issues. If done while chrooting
in, it should be safe.
One of those methods *should* work. In theory. ;-)

I also noticed a whole slew of perl packages updating when I ran
"emerge -pv", so I followed up with "perl-cleaner --reallyall", which
went through a bunch of packages. Lesson learned, update the notebook
more often.
