Probably not, especially if your kernel is built with
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y. I think the package was intended for building
initrds or embedded systems.

A solution, as you have already found, is to delete the directory
in /var/db/pkg/catgory. Wraeth is correct in that this comes from a
failed emerge, I've had it happen once or twice and it comes up on this
list from time to time. A cleaner solution may be to re-emerge the
package, then unmerge it if you don't need it.
