NO!! It is hardmasked in package.mask
Look at the (masked by: package.mask)

To unmask it, use

echo "~www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.5">>/etc/portage/package.unmask

Maybe other packages must be unmasked to.
You know if emerge =www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.5 says so.
Add the other packages to package.unmask same way as with firefox above.
