That's what I get for not RTFM first!

~ means match any revision of the base version specified.  So in the
above example (~net-libs/libnet-1.0.2a), we would match versions
'1.0.2a', '1.0.2a-r1', '1.0.2a-r2', etc...

So the correct answer(?) would be to mask:

 >~dev-db/mysql-4.1.20

Then you get bugfixes but no new versions.
