This adds all the dependent packages that are blocking the specified
package to the package.keywords. It will not work for hard masked
packages.
To answer you question, as long as you leave these entries in your
package.keywords file, emerge -uD will keep the files at the latest
masked (testing)
Is there any easier way to make Portage to install KDE 3.4.1 to a stable
system than to add every single installed package to
/etc/portage/package.keywords? I wouldn't mind to have the entire
kde-base -category use test packages but I would like to keep the rest
of the system on stable ground.

You might want to save a copy of package.keywords then compare the
two for sanity before emerging.
Have fun,
