You should definitely file your own bug report. One of the caveats of running "~x86" is that sometimes things are just broken. I'd suggest a rebuild with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" instead as portage-2.0.49-r15 is working fine for me. If there are things that are masked unstable/experimental that you need, you can always emerge search <package> cd /usr/portage/<package-base>/<package> and then emerge <package>-<version>-<revision>.ebuild
Carpaski, I cc'd you because you are of course the minor deity of all that is portage!
