What I did was to unmerge dev-util/gtk-doc and that seemed to fix
things. You might want to look at a previous thread of a couple of
days ago which I started and was quite informative.

I unmerged gtk-doc and ran my command again. Now it wants to install
gtk-doc, but it's still blocked:
catherine ~ # emerge -av =gtk+-2.12.9-r2
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!

It looks like you are trying to mix testing and stable packages. On my
amd64 setup, gtk+-2.12.9-r2 is ~amd64 but gtk-doc-1.8-r2 is amd64. If
that's the case, adding gtk-doc to package.keywords should resolve this.
