That was it. Alsa is part of the 2.6 kernel, so development-source was showing up there also. I removed it and now I only get alsa-xmms. Unfortunately it doesn't build, but that's normal bug report stuff. I wouldn't have gotten here without your experience.

However, it seems like a weakness in portage to make development-sources first in line when the system isn't running development-sources. There's certainly the condition where someone wants to download development sources and just look at them, but not build them, or they build them but don't run them. Anyway, thanks much for the help.
