What version of portage are you running?
Mine is 2.2.0_alpha4 and the man page says:
CONFIG_PROTECT = [space delimited list of files and/or directories]
All files and/or directories that are defined here will have
"config file
protection" enabled for them. See the CONFIGURATION FILES
section of
emerge(1) for more information.
