This should help.  From man emerge:

--keep-going [ y | n ]
Continue as much as possible after an error. When an error occurs,
dependencies are recalculated for remaining packages and any with
unsatisfied  dependencies  are  automatically dropped. Also see the
related --skipfirst option.

You can also add that to make.conf if you want that all the time.  There
are times when emerge can't continue but if it can, it will.
