You need to download it from: http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/eclass/ and install it so that you can perform the uninstall. THe eclass was deprecated a long time ago and removed.
It pisses me off that gentoo always removes old ebuilds from portage every once and a while...and now this. Is anonymous access to cvs allowed?
It currently isn't allowed - you'll just have to download that files from the cvsweb link I posted - should be quick and painless.
