I noticed two small differences:
1. Emails come from "(Cron Daemon)" instead of "Cron Daemon".
2. The binary is /usr/sbin/crond instead of /usr/sbin/cron.
Everything else seems normal.
Here are the steps to update; they're obvious, but it's easy to skip
some accidentally:
rc-update del vixie-cron default
/etc/init.d/vixie-cron stop
emerge -C vixie-cron
emerge cronie
rc-update add cronie default
/etc/init.d/cronie start
