I'd like to get more information on how I can figure out what this means and 
how to resolve it.

Well, portage packages are installed in the ALL directory with a symlink from 
the category. There is no real need for all category/symlink dirs, but 
basically that's what's causing it. I believe the newest portage fixes this. 
In any case do not worry, it is more anoying than a problem.

Hmm, I use NFS for my /usr/portage and symlinks are not working over NFS.  
Which is probably what is causing all this.

symlinks should work over nfs. It are relative symlinks. It is just some 
brokenness in portage.
