These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] sys-apps/sysvinit-2.85-r1  -bootstrap -build (-selinux) 0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.6-r1  -bootstrap -build -debug 
-livecd -static (-uclibc) 0 kB

strange, it seems that it's a feasible thing, try to upgrade baselayout 
before, 1.11.6-r1 is the last one and than emerge sysvinit, dont' try to 
unmerge baselayout, it's not a good idea.
Keep attention upgrading baselayout, it modifies a lot of fundamentals 
in /etc so you will need to loose a bit of time with etc-update or 
dispatch-conf.
