There were some problems, but usually solvable by emerge -C the offending package (and older version, generally). I removed (after backup) ~/.gconf, ~/.gnome2* ~/.metacity ~/.nautilus and ~/.evolution (I *think* this was not really necessary, by I wanted to see a "pristine" GNOME 3). At the end, I emerge --depclean, and then after a couple of emerge -uDNvp world everything went to normal. I haven't had any problem since then. Oh, at some point I emerge @preserved-rebuild and then again emerge --depcl= ean. It took a couple of days of try/error, and be warned that you should do this fom a VT, not from X (unless you do it under twm or something like that).
