It doesn't work at all. Nothing gets masked. It's simply ignored:
# cat /etc/portage/package.mask
>~dev-lang/php-4.4.4
# emerge -p php
[SNIP]
[ebuild N ] dev-lang/php-5.1.6-r6 USE="..."
# cat /etc/portage/package.mask
>dev-lang/php-4.4.4-r9999
# emerge -p php
[SNIP]
[ebuild N ] dev-lang/php-4.4.4-r6 USE="..."
That goes for both stable and ~arch portage.
