I looked into this, and there are currently two things that will pull
python-3 into a stage3:

1. sys-apps/portage due to its >=dev-lang/python-2.7[ssl] dependency.
2. app-admin/python-updater has a bare "dev-lang/python" dependency.

I have verified that if you install python:2.7, and adjust those
dependencies to the following, portage will no longer try to pull in
python-3.2 on a world update.

sys-apps/portage:

DEPEND="|| ( =dev-lang/python-3*[ssl] dev-lang/python:2.7[ssl]
dev-lang/python:2.6[threads,ssl] )"

app-admin/python-updater:

DEPEND="|| ( dev-lang/python-3* dev-lang/python-2* )"

The || deps are key here; this causes portage to weight an already
installed package over the rest.

In fact, if you reverse the order of python-3 and python-2, that
SHOULD cause python-2 to be pulled into the stage building process
instead of python-3.

So, another possible alternative here is to scour the tree, replacing
any dependencies on dev-lang/python with || deps. I believe
python.eclass would also need to be updated. Does that sound like an
acceptable solution?
