Unless you're a dev, you have no reason to have FEATURES="cvs" on. The bug is exposed only when CVS is set, so FEATURES="-cvs" emerge -p xfree side steps it.
seems to be a dup of bug 16159
As that is the default in Gentoo I suggest it is changed before others have the same problem.
cvs is not in FEATURES by default, autoaddcvs is in FEATURES in make.globals, but not cvs
it's hardly the default *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 16159 ***
