Ah, wonderful. Thank you. But /etc/portage/package.mask doesn't seem to
exist here! There isn't even a /etc/portage directory here.
But /usr/portage/profiles/portage.mask does exist, and it says I'm
welcome to add an entry to it. So, which is the right *correct* method to
do this and where do I find docs on this?

The only thing I have found this:
