Could be that dgs was removed/renamed from portage while you still had it 
installed.
What you could do is check if you have something like
/var/db/pkg/app-text/dgs*/dgs*.ebuild   
and then
# ebuild /var/db/pkg/app-text/dgs*/dgs*.ebuild clean

This worked once for me when dcgui was changed to valknut, but on another 
computer it didn't worked so I deleted everything that had dcgui in it and 
removed it from the world file.

Good luck!
