The only issue with this is that Apache2 is also considered unstable (it's
masked).  So, by removing the "~x86" from the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS, we will end
up installing Apache 1.x.  Not a big deal.  There is no real reason I'm
trying to run Apache2 (other than it's has newer features/patches applied).
I'll go through this exercise tonight - It only takes about 30 minutes to
emerge Apache / mod_php.

Thanks for the tip on ACCEPT_KEYWORDS.  I thought ~x86 was the correct entry
for an intel box.  Just did a bit more digging, and realized I
mis-interpreted the comments - "x86" is the "correct" entry, unless you want
bleeding edge.

Well, there is one other thing I just noticed.  You said you have
mod_php-4.3.2-r2 installed which is currently tagged as unstable (Using
~x86) but would have been installed when you told it to use ~x86.  My
guess is there may be something wrong with the r2 release still of mod_php
4.3.2 which is why it is tagged as unstable.  Did you put
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" in /etc/make.conf ?  I wouldn't recommend you do
that unless you really want to run the latest software (unstable or
untested).  Instead, I would comment out that line and if you ever need to
use a package version that Gentoo considers unstable or needs more testing
you can do:

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge <package>

I would remove mod_php (emerge unmerge mod_php), comment out that
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS line in /etc/make.conf if it's not already and then
reinstall mod_php:

'emerge -vp mod_php' should tell you it's going to install mod_php-4.3.2
once you have done that, and not mod_php-4.3.2-r2.  An 'emerge mod_php'
should then install it.

Cheers,
