Doh!  Apparently, both of the mirrors I have configured are broken:

  GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://lug.mtu.edu/gentoo/ http://cosmos.illinois.edu/pub/gentoo/"

The first one is out-of-date and doesn't contain the the last few
versions of ImageMagick. The second is just plain AWOL.

I've updated make.conf with a couple mirrors that I've manually
verified, and now my update is building as expected.  I guess I need
to add verifying mirrors are present and correct to the list of normal
maintainence activities.
