Hi,

is it by any means possible to specify a _minimum_ version of a package?
i.e. you have different slots for a package and one wants to have any 
version from a specific release and do not want to miss any updates onwards?

With package.keywords you could use
 >=category/package-version

ie
 >=dev-db/mysql-4.0.25-r2

but afaik this will also want to install packages that are marked 
unstable, ie mysql 4.1.x

So add  "arch" to the end, ie

 >=dev-db/mysql-4.0.25-r2 x86

-c
