Let assume the package is gnumeric version 1.6.3
Then put the following line into /etc/portage/package.keywords
~app-office/gnumeric-1.6.3
This way you will get -1.6.3 and, if there is a GENTOO version bump,
to ~app-office/gnumeric-1.6.3-r1, you will get that as well even if it
is keyword masked (i.e. is ~x86). But you will *not* get -1.6.4 if it
is ~x86 so you will in good time return to a stable version.
