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.

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.
