This won't work, keywords are for accepting unstable packages, or unkeyworded packages in your tree, they don't make a package 32-bit on a 64-bit system. This is what the USE_EXPAND variable ABI_X86 is for. I agree that you should figure out which libraries you need in 32-bit versions, but then you should add them to your package.use file or directory. An example: I have a file /etc/portage/package.use/abix86 where I put lines like these for packages I need installed in a 32-bit flavour (in addition to the 64-bit my normal system uses): dev-db/sqlite abi_x86_32 dev-libs/glib abi_x86_32 etc...
