As it is no longer in portage, copy the ebuild from /var/db/pkg to your
overlay, then quickpkg it before you unmerge anything.

It will only have been removed for portage if nothing else in there
depends on it, so unmerge it (after doing the above) then run
revdep-rebuild followed by emerge -uavD world.
