This means that the software you wish to install has been held back by developers 
because of a buggy install-file or anything else undesirable.  see

http://gentoowiki.iq-computing.de/index.php?pagename=PackageMask

you shouldn't unmask a package unless you know what you're doing.  give it some time, 
and fire an `emerge rsync` and try again (my signature tells best, my friend).  you 
could always get the source from somewhere else and compile it yourself, but then 
you'd just be defeating the purpose of portage in general...

best of luck,
