The >=sys-fs/udev-181 in /etc/portage/package.mask means that any udev version
equal to or greater than udev-181 is masked from the system. Therefore, the
latest version under 181 will be used (stable or unstable depending upon
/etc/portage/package.accept_keywords). You can see versions/slots easily by:

mingdao@workstation ~ $ eshowkw sys-fs/udev
Keywords for sys-fs/udev:
