Notice that gdm is blocked with a 'b' and the other two with a 'B'. That means that portage is smart enough to fix the gdm conflict, but you must fix the other two yourself. I've found that the quickest fix for the 'B' blockers is just to remove them with emerge -C. So far I've not had any problems with that approach.
