It's an overlay move. Normally you will see something like [1=>0] meaning the ebuild was installed from the overlay tagged as [1] at the end and will be updated with a more recent ebuild from the overlay tagged [0] at the end. [0] will always be the portage tree in practice. [?] means portage doesn't know which overlay the installed ebuild came from - usually because you deleted it from layman -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
