Maybe.  The issue is to first understand (for each slot conflict) what 
is pulling in each of the conflicting versions.  The newer version is 
probably being pulled in as the default (highest version not flagged or 
masked or ...).  The older version is likely being pulled in by an older 
version of some other package. Rather than specifying specific version, 
just include the other package also.

The basic idea is to upgrade as few packages at a time as possible - but 
you can't do just one because of these conflicts. So starting with 
"emerge -1 portage" and seeing the older version of portage is being 
pulled in by gentookit, just "emerge -1 portage gentoolkit". You may 
have to go through many iterations to find a set of packages which will 
cleanly upgrade together.
