Bug 462926 (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=462926) is opened for the circular dependency.
My more immediate question is "Why is virtual/modutils & sys-apps/kmod pulled in at all?" and "How can I prevent it?"
Here the output of my "emerge update"
# emerge --update --deep --verbose --reinstall changed-use --with-bdeps y world --pretend --tree
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[nomerge ] virtual/modutils-0
[ebuild N ] sys-apps/kmod-12-r1 USE="tools zlib -debug -doc -lzma -static-libs" 0 kB
[ebuild N ] virtual/modutils-0 0 kB
