If I'm remember correctly (I don't have a KDE-4.2.4 system right now),
the blocks are not keyword or mask related, but 4.2.4 and 4.3 simply
blocking each other. You cannot have both installed, unless you turn on
the very much deprecated kdeprefix USE flag. And if you have a :4.2
versioned item in world, portage won't be able to resolve the blocks by
upgrading (which may or may not be considered a portage problem).
At least this is how I imagine the situation, without digging too deep
into the ebuilds. :-/
