You've grabbed the .ebuild for the version that is currently installed
but whose .ebuild disappeared from the portage tree? If so, you already
have it in the /var/db/pkg/ so you don't need to contact CVS. I wouldn't
say that's inelegant because you actually have the track of packet's
version installed on the system.
 
Anyway, I would temporarily remove media-tv/mythtv from the
/var/lib/portage/world and revert it back after portage's update world.
