When I "emerge -pv kdirstat" I get 

!!! The following installed packages are masked:
- cross-i686-pc-linux-gnu/linux-headers-2.6.23-r3 (masked by: ~amd64 
keyword)

Why on earth should kdirstat depend on a cross-compiler for a different 
architecture?

On the other hand, when I "ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~amd64 emerge -pvt kdirstat" I 
get

[ebuild  N    ] kde-misc/kdirstat-2.5.3-r1  USE="-debug -xinerama" 662 kB

Total: 1 package (1 new), Size of downloads: 662 kB

Something's a bit out of kilter, methinks. "equery l cross" returns no 
entries.
