Here's the updated news item, which I will be committing very shortly.  
Please note that there is absolutely no version of portage that was not in 
package.mask that would have problems with an EAPI-2 atom in a news item 
because EAPI-2 support was added to portage at the same time as news item 
support (they both appeared in portage 2.1.6).

Title: Removal of kdeprefix support
Author: Jonathan Callen <abcd@gentoo.org>
Content-Type: text/plain
Posted: 2011-05-22
Revision: 1
News-Item-Format: 1.0
Display-If-Installed: kde-base/kdelibs[kdeprefix]

On 2011-06-06, kdeprefix support will be removed from all KDE ebuilds in
portage.  After this is done, only one version of KDE SC will be able to
be installed at a time on a system.  If you are currently using
USE=kdeprefix to install multiple versions of KDE SC simultaneously, you
will need to migrate to a non-kdeprefix installation.

To migrate, you will need to set USE=-kdeprefix (or remove the manual
unmasking of that flag in /etc/portage/profile) and rebuild all of the
installed packages in kde-base/.  To reinstall these packages, you can
run: emerge --update --deep --newuse @world
