Dont "snip". The relevant part comes *after* the "blocks" lines.
Also, you are mis-interpreting the "blocks" lines. The correct
reading of "X (is blocking Y)" is that you have (or should have) X
installed, and now portage wants to install Y instead. Usually this
is because Y supercedes the functionality that used to be provided by
X, and in almost all cases, the right thing to do is to unmerge X and
merge Y.
The exceptions on your system are pam-login/shadow, and
seamonkey/mozilla. For some reason portage wants to install/keep
both. This is where you need to look at the *full* --tree output to
see what is trying to pull those packages in.
