On an existing mysql installation, the emerge stops with a message and points you to an upgrade guide ("http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/mysql-upgrading.xml"). There is a paragraph (with warnings) at the bottom for a faster method. Iam using the implied "its safer" way! The slower process involves taking a copy of your existing msql installation (binaries+databases), emerge -C'ing mysql, rm -rf'ing the remnants, install/rebuilding deps and then restoring the DB. Count on downtime!
