See http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13616 for a very nice alternative. With that patch, you can instead have your customizations in /etc/portage/package.{use,keywords,unmask}
Portage has this functionality in at least 2.0.49-r3 (which I am currently using). I'm not sure when it started being included.
The current 'stable' version of portage may be using /etc/portage/ profiles/package.mask instead of /etc/portage/package.mask.
