In general you'd do ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -pv mythtv to get something newer. However I do not recommend you do this unless it is emerging just a single package. By using ~x86 this way it will also give you the testing versions of everything else it needs to update or install for the first time. You can also place a ~x86 in your /etc/portage/package.keywords file to relieve you of having to do htis every time you update the package. man emerge for more info.
