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.
