All sync does is download the latest ebuilds into your local portage
tree. If the ebuild maintainers haven't gotten around to creating an
ebuild for package 'foo-1.2.0' (the lastest) and are still using
'foo-0.8' then you're stuck with 'foo-0.8' unless you roll your own
ebuild for 'foo-1.2.0'.
Of course you're also welcome to submit the custom ebuild into
bugzilla to get it included in portage for everyone else to benefit
from.
