Add an equal sign, so that it reads =net-www/apache-1.3.28. You can also use other relational operators, so to install the latest 1.x version of apache you can use emerge \<net-www/apache-2 (the backslash is necessary to escape the < for bash).
To keep the 2.x version of apache from installing when you do a -u world, you can make the /etc/portage directory, and then:
echo ">=net-www/apache-2" >> /etc/portage/package.mask
