Portage is telling you to change the KEYWORD for the fcitx package before it
will agree to proceed with the installation.  This is very confusing and
easy to miss, unfortunately.

The reason for KEYWORD change is this:

#grep KEY /usr/portage/app-i18n/fcitx/*
/usr/portage/app-i18n/fcitx/fcitx-3.6.3.ebuild:KEYWORDS="~amd64 ~ppc ~x86"
/usr/portage/app-i18n/fcitx/fcitx-3.6.4.ebuild:KEYWORDS="~amd64 ~ppc ~x86"
/usr/portage/app-i18n/fcitx/fcitx-4.0.0.ebuild:KEYWORDS="~amd64 ~ppc ~x86"
/usr/portage/app-i18n/fcitx/fcitx-4.0.1.ebuild:KEYWORDS="~amd64 ~ppc ~x86"
/usr/portage/app-i18n/fcitx/fcitx-4.2.0-r2.ebuild:KEYWORDS="~amd64 ~x86"
/usr/portage/app-i18n/fcitx/fcitx-4.2.1.ebuild:KEYWORDS="amd64 ~x86"

You can see from the above that there is no stable (x86) package for fcitx, so
if you want to install it you must add it to /etc/portage/package.keywords
like this:

#cat /etc/portage/package.keywords 
app-i18n/xcitx                          ~x86    <---------
app-office/libreoffice                  -~amd64
dev-libs/icu                            -~amd64

The minus sign in front of ~amd64 means that I want the stable (amd64) version
of libreoffice and icu, not the unstable (~amd64) version.  You want the opposite,
so don't add the minus sign for xcitx :)
