There's a lot to trawl through here, it looks like you haven't updated

The (compressed) log of a system and world update from 20. October

Nearly 2 months, quite a long time in Gentoo update terms.
!!! After 2 months the system can no longer be update-able?
A system can be updated and updatable after more than two months, but be
prepared for some manual intervention and a staged approach to running emerge.
(I just discoved your posting, thank you)
By staged approach, you mean first @system and then @world? I've just
realized that doing this doesn't bring anything ;-)
emerge ... @system @world
Starting with 'eselect news read new' is advisable for any heads up to changes
in gentoo, major packages and configuration.
Yeah, except I wouldn't know what to do about it.
Also pay attention to any messages on the CLI when you run emerge about
packages which are due to be removed from portage, as you will need to take
care of these manually in your local or some external 3rd party overlay.
You mean, like get them out of my world file?
...
What do
grep -r python3_6 /etc/portage
That showed that the only references are in package.use
But what does it show. We need the output of commands, not some vague
reference to them. I suspected there was something in package.use, but we
need to know what. Those references should probably be removed but no one
can say for sure without seeing them.
Oh sorry. You mentioned
PYTHON_TARGETS="python3_6"
and I didn't connect that with USE variables. Here there are (with comments
removed)
It isn't just USE flags for python-3.6 you may have set up yourself, but USE
flags for any python version you have specified. Under normal circumstances
you would not need to specify these yourself and pegging python at a
particular version is bound to cause warnings later on, when that python
version has been deprecated and is no longer available in portage.

Why had you set up these in your package.use?
Basically, whenever emerge tells me I need USE variables, I define them.
It's not clear to me how I should know to override that, for example, to
say, oh that's not needed anymore.
If you comment them out and re-run emerge are you getting any more warnings/
errors?
Yes, those are all gone.
