Packages masked with "-*" can be unmasked by adding the package to /etc/portage/package.keywords with the "-*" keyword. This is not related to package.unmask KEYWORDS="-*" actually means "This package does not work on any arch". Because of this the use of "-*" is discouraged and currently being phased out [1] in favor of the "**" keyword (which can also be defined as KEYWORDS="" in the ebuild).
