The packages go in ${PKGDIR}/All, the rest are just symlinks. Remove the
packages from All then delete the dangling symlinks with 

symlinks -dr ${PKGDIR}

emerge symlinks if you don't already have it.

Or you can do it automatically with 

qpkg -I -nc -v | while read p; do
        touch --no-create $PKGDIR/$p.tbz2
        touch --no-create $PKGDIR/All/$(basename $p).tbz2
        done
find $PKGDIR ! -mtime +1 -exec rm "{}" \;
