All the real stuff has been masked by security issues which is probably
the reason for the blockers. Here is the relevant entry from
package.mask of the profile directory:

# Steve Dibb <beandog@gentoo.org> (5 Nov 2008)
# Mask realplayer, real codecs for security, upstream issues, bug 245662
media-video/realplayer
media-libs/amd64codecs
media-libs/realcodecs

So you may consider not using this packages anyway.
