When I see this message, is the short answer, emerge --unmerge each of
them because they're just dead packages?

Well, the answer is that the packages exist but they are masked. You are 
without a doubt using some older versions no longer in portage, and the 
versions that are in portage are masked, while yours were stable when you 
installed them. Add the packages to /etc/portage/package.keywords and they 
should be possible to update.

Or you can unmerge them if you want to.

If those are already on your system and functioning, you may want to
list them in package.provided .  That will tell the system to use the
package that is already on the system.
