Silly me. I've just realised that I had put "<dev-php/mod_php-5.1" in /etc/portage/package.unmask in order to install mod-php-5.0. It was this that was unmasking mod_php-4.3. I had used the < because I didn't want to keep using experimental versions beyond what was necessary, but I should have just left this to be sorted out using package.keywords. Anyway, changing the line to ">=dev-php/mod_php-5" did the trick.
