<http://hasno.info/2008/7/31/upgrading-to-postgresql-8-3-on-gentoo>The gist
of it being:

..largely due to the overall postgresql upgrade philosophy, which involves
> dumping (backing up) all your dbs and the restoring them after the upgrade.
> Since that isn't a seamless process, I'm sure they want an upgrade to be a
> conscious decision. That being said, the current upgrade path involves
> switching from the dev-db/postgresql package to the dev-db/postgresql-base
> /dev-db/postgresql-serverpackages.
