Interesting...  I had almost the exact same experience earlier today.  I 
got svgalib to build on amd64 (by removing the internal lrmi build from 
its src_compile), and wanted to test it with 'links' (didn't work).

The 'svga' option is use-masked, but I took a slightly different override 
approach.  My profile line in gentoo.bash is dynamically generated (so I 
can use the same configs on amd64 and x86), but the resulting line is:

# all one line:
profiles = /usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/amd64/2008.0/desktop 
/etc/paludis/profile-amd64

$ cat /etc/paludis/profile-amd64/use.mask
-svga

(From http://paludis.org/configuration/repositories/e.html:)
"""
profiles
    A space separated list of directories to use as profiles. Later 
entries override earlier entries. [...]
"""

Seemed slightly simpler configuration-wise (+1 file, +2 lines vs +2 files, 
+3 lines), so thought I'd mention it.

Best,
Ben
