According to the portage man-page you must include the version of the package 
too.

==================================================
	.
	.
	.
	.
package.provided
                     A list of  packages  (one  per  line)  that  portage
                     should  assume have been provided.  Useful for port-
                     ing to non-Linux systems.  Portage will not  attempt
                     to  update  a  package  that  is  listed here unless
                     another package explicitly requires a  version  that
                     is newer than what has been listed.  Basically, it's
                     a list that replaces the emerge --inject syntax.

                     For example, if you manage your own copy  of  a  2.6
                     kernel,  then  you  can  tell portage that 'sys-ker-
                     nel/development-sources-2.6.7' is already taken care
                     of and it should get off your back about it.

                     Format:
                     - comments begin with #
                     - one DEPEND atom per line
                     - relational operators are not allowed
                     - must include a version
	.
	.
