In gentoo forums I've found this:

If you are using Portage >= 2.0.48, there is another option for
installing masked packages that does not require editing package.mask.
You can add a category/package entry into the file
/etc/portage/package.unmask, which will survive across an "emerge sync".

I've tried it, but it didn't show any effect. Currently this file just
consists of 

sys-devel/gcc-3.3

What else should be in there? Will this file be loaded every time I
emerge something, or do I have to regen something? Best regards,
