My "man emerge" says:
Symbol Mask Type
--------------------------
# package.mask
* missing keyword
~ unstable keyword
NOTE: The unstable keyword symbol (~) will not be shown in cases in which the
corresponding unstable keywords have been accepted globally via ACCEPT_KEYWORDS.
So your package seems to be masked by an entry in /etc/portage/package.mask.
