Unless this "minimal CD" was really shrunk manually after portage
installation, "man emerge" should show you the manpage.
Anyway, the message is a bit unfortunate IMHO.
It means essentially that you should run one of the tools
etc-update, dispatch-conf, cfg-update, conf-update, etc-proposals
which all do the same (with an increasing order of automatism/complexity):
They allow you to semi-manually update the config-files to the new ones
(which are currently stored under the names .__cfg* in your system).
