That revealed a lot of interesting stuff, and I will have to go through it with a fine-toothed comb. Unfortunately, there was nothing related to orphaned binaries. I eventually let revdep-rebuild build the packages in random order until it hit one it couldn't. It turned out an old faac version was the culprit. After unmerging and re-emerging faac, revdep-rebuild was able to clean up my system. So portage is happy again, my system is and I am. Not a too bad start for a new year. ;-) Thanks for all the answers.
