New Gentoo user here, hello!

I hope to emerge app-misc/vlock, but it conflicts as described above;
the "Blocked packages" section of the handbook does not give any
relevant advice for packages required by the kernel.

I don't think deselecting sys-apps/kbd is a good idea, given it
provides things in addition to its own vlock that seems fairly
important.

The app-misc/vlock provides "-s" to disable SysRq (for example, to
prevent killing vlock), which is why I'd like to install it.

Any advice on how to proceed?

PS The GitHub source link to vlock is dead; the only "mirror" I could
find is [1].

Check use flags, disable one in one package and try. If still blocking quit another use flag and retry
