It's in /usr/portage/profile/amd64/no-multilib/use.mask, I can't figure out how 
to unmask it on /etc/portage. What I would do is copy the xen-tools ebuild to 
your local overlay then run:

sed -ie '/hvmloader/! s/hvm/hvm2/g' xen-tools-4.5.1-r1.ebuild

and enable hvm2 and hvm, that way it doesn't get overwritten when you sync and 
when the ebuid gets updated and the mask removed you already have the right 
flags set.

I would comment on bug #351648 because it looks like they fixed it but forgot 
to remove the mask.
