I don't have an ebuild for that version on beryl, so I can't tell you what 
keywords can be used.  But, I can tell you how to find out.

e.g.:
$ grep KEYWORD beryl-plugins-0.1.3.ebuild
KEYWORDS="~amd64 ~ppc ~ppc64 ~x86"

So, you can simply find the KEYWORDS variable in the ebuild you are trying 
to use and add one of those keywords to your package.keywords.  Of course, 
if you do anything other than ~${ARCH}, where ${ARCH} is your current 
architecture and it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.
