Add "; emerge <options> -p world" to the end and you'll also get a list of
the packages that failed.

Yep.  It's saying, that any version before 1.5.2 is blocking.
So, do:

emerge -C '<media-gfx/splashutils-1.5.2'

Or if you'd rather not remove splashutils, you'll need to tell portage you're 
happy to run version 1.5.2 which is currently marked unstable:
echo "~media-gfx/splashutils-1.5.2" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

This updated version of splashutils will also require you to accept an 
unstable version of klibc:
echo "~dev-libs/klibc-1.5" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

# emerge -C '<media-gfx/splashutils-1.5.2'

According to your earlier post you don't have any versions of splashutils 
installed, so yes this is normal:

Ok, so, why is portage blocking the update?

It's not an update, it's a new install.
Something else which is installed (and probably wanting to be updated) is 
trying to pull in splashutils-1.5.2 or later as a dependency.  As this 
version is not currently available to you, portage is bailing out as not all 
dependencies could be satisfied.

equery d splashutils
may give you some idea what is trying to pull in the newer version.  I'm 
guessing it's sys-power/suspend or sys-power/hibernate-script.

Adding the two lines I suggested previously to /etc/portage/package.keywords 
will almost certainly fix the problem for you.  I had the same problem on my 
laptop some days ago.
