A-*ha*.

It looks like mDNSResponder was lastrited out of the main Portage tree only
three months ago.  Presumably I "got away" with -avahi because I had
mDNSResponder installed previous to its removal from the Portage tree,
so it exists on my system as a sort of phantom (Portage knows it's installed
and can link stuff to it, but there's no associated ebuild).

mDNSResponder ebuilds should be obtainable from 
http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/net-misc/mDNSResponder/?hideattic=0

As the changelog indicates that the last tweak to this package was ~6 months
ago, I would expect it to still compile.

If anyone from kde-sunset is still reading this thread, I would suggest adopting
this package into the overlay.
