I don't know what is the problem in your system.
On my system:

Without FEATURES="buildkpg"

cd /usr/portage/packages/
ls -lR
softwarealchemy packages # ls -lR

I switched FEATURES="buildpkg" and emerge cvs and the result:

softwarealchemy packages # ls -lR

You can see the cvs is installed and the tarball is placed in
/usr/portage/packages/All. In the /usr/portage/packages/dev-util/
directory has a symlink to
/usr/portage/packages/All/cvs-1.12.12-r4.tbz2 file.

I think it is workign fine. Or we are both in big trouble :-D

Sorry my english.
