Shrug, 0.9.27 has been removed half year ago. I'd suggest that you stick nls into /var/db/pkg/sys-libs/uclibc-0.9.27/IUSE and upgrade with USE=pregen. Also, I don't really understand why it's installing 0.9.28 into a new slot instead of upgrading?!? Post the output of cat /var/db/pkg/sys-libs/uclibc-0.9.27/SLOT
nls is currently an experimental (and mostly broken) feature in uClibc ... you should turn it off on your system
