Are they doing some kind of strange reorg or what? HOw can I fix
this?
I believe so:

I'm guessing that it's this that's causing the problems you describe above.
You mentioned package unmasking, and this is recommended in the referenced
forums post for those that require Real, but you might just try unmerging
win32codecs realcodecs trying your update again.
I discovered this reorganisation because updating my system showed mplayer
updating with the real USE flag being forcibly disabled, i.e.:
[ebuild U ] media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p27725-r1 [1.0_rc2_p26753-r1]
USE=... -radio (-real*) -rtc ... 0 kB
Someone on #gentoo was able to help because they'd experienced the issue
this morning.
It's not clear to me from this post whether Realplayer these codecs are
actually needed by mplayer in order to play .rm .ram playlists audio
files. One would assume so, except for beandog's statement Chances are, you
don't need them anyway. The codecs are hardly used anymore, and most people
will be fine without them.
I have been thinking recently to record Pete Tong the other Friday /
Saturday night Radio 1 DJs using cron mplayer, so I can burn their shows
to CD-R listen to them in the car during the week. As a consequence later
tonight I will be testing mplayer's ability to handle
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/realaudio/media/r1live.ram without these
packages installed.
