I'm trying to get this package to compile on my amd64 box to run in
dedicated server mode (no GUI required). My kernel has IA32 support
compiled in.

The package in question is hard masked ~amd64

It's not hard masked. It's only keyword masked. ~amd64 simply means it's currently in testing and not marked stable yet. And actually, only the 1.9.0_beta68 of doomsday is in testing. 1.9.0_beta67 is not even keyword masked.

Furthermore, your method of installing it:

  ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" emerge doomsday

is wrong. This is only for testing whether it emerges OK and it will be unmerged again at your next world update. You need to keyword the package in your package.keywords file/directory.

And no, you can't compile in 32bit mode even if you were using a multilib profile. Gentoo's multilib is not "real" multilib and won't let you build in 32bit mode.
