I got through it this morning.
Some packages have a new "firefox" use flag, and when it isn't set (it
wasn't here), the ebuild tries to merge seamonkey, which in turn
blocks mozilla.
In your case, it's the yelp that is causing this. If you enable the
firefox use flag, it will try to compile against firefox instead of
trying seamonkey.

I don't want firefox though.  I want mozilla, and if mozilla is now
called seamonkey, I want seamonkey.

Mozilla isn't called SeaMonkey now. SeaMonkey and Mozilla Suite
are seperate projects, with Mozilla Suite being rather dead now.

 If I turn on the firefox use flag,
won't it try to emerge firefox

Yes.

and block seamonkey?

No.

 And if seamonkey is
the new mozilla, why does mozilla block it?

Firefox is the new Mozilla. SeaMonkey is a fork. Anyway - if
I understood the bug correctly, SeaMonkey (or Firefox) won't
be sufficient for gecko-sharp. gecko-sdk will suffice, eventually.
