 I know xmms was recently split into more packages, but I looked through the
 packages and didn't see anything that I thought I needed to add. I can still
 play local mp3s for whatever that's worth.
 Anyone have any ideas?

Try emerging media-plugins/xmms-mpg123-1.2.10-r1.

That fixed it for me.

  I emerge/updated world a couple of weeks ago.  xmms 1.2.10 no longer
handled pls streaming.  It wouldn't even respond to the old hack of
downloading the .pls file and opening it on your drive with xxms.  The
correspondence on http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85165 has the
following fix, which worked for me...

  Step 1) emerge xmms-mpg123

  Step 2) - open up xmms and go through the following menu hierarchy
  - Options = Preferences = Audio I/O plugins
  - select the MAD MPEG decoder plugin
  - uncheck the enabled button on the far right, half-way down
the menu dialog
  - click on OK
