On your system "emerge gnome" wants to install gnome-2
So either your tree is outdated (you must re-sync) or gnome-3 is still
masked. The second option is more likely and there are two
possibilities for that:
You run a stable system (gnome-3 is still unstable), or
you masked it for some reason.
Run this and examine what output you get:
emerge -pv =gnome-3.2.1
