Did you copy the entire PKGDIR heirarchy? It normally looks something like:
$PKGDIR/All/glib-1.2.10-r5.tbz2
...
$PKGDIR/dev-libs/glib- 1.2.10-r5.tbz2 -> ../All/glib-1.2.10-r5.tbz2
If you just copied the 'All' directory, without the symlinks, this
could account for the behavior you are seeing.

Okay, that helped. But not as much as I had hoped.
Now I get:
treat dev-libs # emerge -avk =glib-1.2.10-r5
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies -
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "virtual/glibc".
(dependency required by "dev-libs/glib-1.2.10-r5" [binary])
treat dev-libs #
So it sees that it has the glib package, but is still unwilling to emerge it
because of something else I need to do. But I don't know how to find
out what to do about this virtual. In /var/cache/edb/virtuals, I have
