I don't have /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask on my system, but I found a second package.mask in /var/db/repos/gentoo/profiles/package.mask but it doesn't mention radicale. Are you saying that if a package is "masked", portage is only aware of that fact because it's specified in a file on my system?

Dunno if this will get you every masked package, but at least should be quite close; if you run emerge -pv --emptytree world you can check the packages that are being downgraded, quite probably the reason for this downgrading will be that the installed version is a masked one.
