Sorry for all not italian people I made a mistake and it's easyer for me 
explain it in italian:

Mi sono spiegato male, intendevo dire di fare prima l'aggiornamento di 
sys-apps/baselayout e solo *dopo* emergere sysvinit, forse e' questo che 
ti blocca.
L' idea mi e' venuta vedendo che se provo a emergere entrambi i 
pacchetti sui miei sistemi non mi viene segnalato alcune errore.
Se anche questo non funziona prova a fare un
emerge --sync
od ad aggiornare portage.

English again
Older version of portage had a cache of virtual ebuilds installed keeped 
on disk, newer portage (>= 2.51 I think) should generate it on demand.
virtual is the gentoo way to keep track of what ebuild is installed and 
provide a certain functionality.

Maybe there is something dirty in your /var/lib/portage/world file that 
keep track of your installed ebuilds or in the case of an older package 
in the virtual cache file.
My knowledge finish here sorry.

ciao francesco
