You are right and I am using an old profile:
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    48 Aug 30  2005 make.profile -> 
../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0

I read the doc you suggested. Either I completely missed/misunderstood 
the notice that was sent warning me to upgrade to a newer profile, or 
the warning may not have been sent because according to the 
gentoo-upgrading doc a new file should have been added to the 2005.0 
directory named "deprecated" ; the contents of which contain the name of 
the new profile to be used.

 There is a "deprecated" file in /usr/portage/profiles/obsolete/x86 that 
says 2004.3 is the upgraded profile.

I have run emerge -u portage and it says everything is fine.

The gentoo-upgrading doc does not indicate how to upgrade to the 2006.0 
profile. Is merely changing the symlink adequate as was done for 2005.0 
--> 2005.1?
