You may want to have a go by adding:

~x11-plugins/beryl-plugins-0.1.99.2

or, 

=x11-plugins/beryl-plugins-0.1.99.2 ~x86  (if you don't want subsequent 
upgrades to unstable packages)

to your /etc/portage/package.keywords file and then run:

# emerge -upDv beryl-plugins 

to see if it is being picked up.  You may discover additional masked 
dependencies at this stage and you will need to unmask them in turn.
