Wouldn't it mostly work if you a] Copied the package ebuild directory to a local overlay to ensure the version keeps being available to portage even if it vanishes from the official tree and b] masked any later version in, say, /etc/portage/package.mask/pinned ( and c] mentally prepared to repeat the procedure when the tree no longer provides compatible dependencies ) ?
