sys-apps/rlocate was package.masked recently (see bug 207421). kde-misc/kio-locate depends on either of sys-apps/slocate, sys-apps/rlocate or sys-apps/mlocate. If you want portage to pick up rlocate, you'll have to either - unmask it, otherwise portage will try to emerge slocate (the first of the 3 alternatives listed). - unmerge it, and emerge slocate or mlocate. So this is not a bug. :)
