For a hideous hack that works right now (and is thus the solution I
use) check out the following shell scripts:

----- begin: stable-eup.sh -----
#! /bin/sh

NOCOLOR="true" emerge -up world \
        | grep '^\[ebuild' \
        | grep -v '^\[ebuild    UD\]' \
        | sed -re's/.*?\] (.*?)-[0-9
------ end: stable-eup.sh ------

---- begin: unstable-eup.sh ----
#! /bin/sh

NOCOLOR="true" emerge -up world \
        | grep '^\[ebuild' \
        | grep '^\[ebuild    UD\]' \
        | sed -re's/.*?\] (.*?)-[0-9].*/\1/' \
        | NOCOLOR="true" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" xargs emerge -p \
        | grep '^\[ebuild' \
        | grep -v '^\[ebuild   R  \]' \
        | sed -re's/.*?\] (.*?)-[0-9].*/\1/' \
        | ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" xargs emerge "$@"
----- end: unstable-eup.sh -----

disorder and hubbub amongst the enemy:--this is the
art of retaining self-possession.
