emerge world wants to update mysql from 4.1.21 to 5.0.26-r1 on my
server this morning.  Has anyone made a similar upgrade?

Yes.
After the upgrade amavisd-new and postfix didn't work anymore. I had to 
re-emerge DBD-mysql and postfix to get things running again.
It's propably a good idea to check which packages depend on mysql beforehand.

Done. Had to run revdep-rebuild after the upgrade and everything was 
nice and smooth. :-)

More importantly, I would like to know why MUST I update to MySQL 5?

Im running 4.1 quite happily and have mysql-5 masked out in
/etc/portage/package.mask.

Why do you think you "MUST"? I doubt that there exists a law that says that 
you have to upgrade or you will be sent to jail if you don't.

What's the problem then?

Nothing - apart from not being to *any* updates:

# emerge -uDtav world

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Calculating world dependencies |
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=dev-db/mysql-5.0*" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your
request:
- dev-db/mysql-5.0.26-r1 (masked by: package.mask)


For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page
or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
(dependency required by "virtual/mysql-5.0" [ebuild])



!!! Problem resolving dependencies for dev-db/mysql
!!! Depgraph creation failed.





Nice.

Ah. And you chose to not provide the slightest hint of what you're really 
talking about in your first post, because...?

To me, this seems to indicate that masking virtual/mysql-5.0 too might help.

You need to mask the virtual package that's depending on that, not the 
mysql package itself.

$ sudo sed -i -e 's,dev-db/mysql,virtual/mysql,g' /etc/portage/package.mask

Thanks,

So, does this mean I can no longer get any updates for dev-perl/DBD-mysql
without upgrading to MySQL 5?

Looks like DBD-mysql depends on that virtual but I do not wish to upgrade
(I already have DBD-mysql installed and working with MySQL 4.1.

No, that's not what it means.
