Yes, it is. The 1.9.21 version is marked unstable ("~arch", the key
issue being the ~ before the architecture name), and apparently you have
only authorized Portage (in /etc/make.conf) to accept/show stable
packages (ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="arch", as opposed to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~arch").
So the unstable packages generally are invisible to you, unless you
override the current ACCEPT_KEYWORDS setting either globally (in
/etc/make.conf), or for the specific package (in
/etc/portage/package.keywords), or use another portage search tool (such
as 'eix', which shows you all the versions in Portage, whether or not
Portage will actually emerge them for you because your settings block them).

What version of udev are you using?
