The virtual/dev-manager dependencies look like this: || ( sys-fs/udev sys-fs/devfsd sys-fs/static-dev sys-freebsd/freebsd-sbin ) Do you have another one of those installed, such as sys-fs/devfsd or sys-fs/static-dev? If so, then this behavior is expected.

Since portage behaves as it's supposed to, given the sys-apps/busybox[mdev] choice in virtual/dev-manager (bug #395319), this bug belongs to base-system since they maintain the virtual.
This is big. Current stable systems all have udev eligible for depclean right now.
i've dropped IUSE=+mdev for all busybox ebuilds, and moved udev to first in the ||() list in the dev-manager virtual otherwise, if a user has manually built busybox with USE=mdev, then it does satisfy the virtual/dev-manager dependency which means udev could be removed whether the user wants that behavior is up to them
