Odd, sounds like a bad ebuild (no KEYWORDS var?) or a bugged portage (no 
longer recognizes the special KEYWORDs).

On my system:
$ grep -i keyw /usr/portage/media-libs/ploticus/*.ebuild
/usr/portage/media-libs/ploticus/ploticus-2.32.ebuild:KEYWORDS="ppc x86"
/usr/portage/media-libs/ploticus/ploticus-2.33.ebuild:KEYWORDS="~ppc ~x86"
so, it doesn't *look* like a bad ebuild.

First, check your local ebuilds, and make sure you don't have an 
interfering overlay.  Also, make sure you don't have two (or more) 
media-libs/ploticus lines in your package.keywords.  If that all checks 
out, I suppose it could be a portage bug.
