Well, it turns out that the thing I thought wouldn't make a difference, 
actually did make a difference.  After emerge mythtv was complete, I went back 
into mythtv-setup.  After flubbing the password once, it retrieved a channel 
lineup from Zap2it.  I then associated that with my tuner cards, and now 
mythfilldatabase is grinding away.  It looks like all will be right with the 
world in a few more minutes. :-)

I had rebuilt the whole system a month or so ago when I switched from gcc 3.3 
to 3.4.  Everything had been running without a hitch until recently (other than 
some garbled recordings from my PVR-x50s after a week or so of operation, which 
I'm waiting to see if it'll return after I put the original heatsinks back on 
the cards).
