This one is resolved.  After doing and emerge --search cvs there were 
two cvs packages installed:  cvs and colorcvs.  When I did and emerge -C 
cvs and then emerge -uDNp world, cvs was back in the list to get 
installed again.  After doing an emerge -C colorcvs the cvs package 
didn't show up in the emerge -uDNp world list.
