15 Maybe you should use existing, old portage features: slots.
16
17 Add ":3.5" to the end of all those "kde-base/"-starting lines in
18 package.keywords, and you'll accept unstable from slot 3.5 but not
19 from 4.1 (current kde4 slot). You probably can use
20 match/search-and-replace within your favourite text editor to get it
21 to the end of all those lines without doing it manually.
22
23 Your lines will look like this (but with slot 3.5 instead of 4.1):
24
25 kde-base/superkaramba:4.1
26
27 Yes, that's the way they suggest unmasking stuff when testing out kde4 ... :)
