I /think/ you can do this with

echo >>/etc/portage/package.mask ">app-office/openoffice-2.0.2-r1"
echo >>/etc/portage/package.unmask ">=app-office/openoffice-2.0.3"

But why would you want to do this? If a patch level update is released,
there may be a good reason. I'd prefer to leave things alone until an
update is realsed. Then check the Changelog and mask the specific version
if I don't need it.
