If you're the only user of your computer, you could also just unmask
the version in Portage. The bug is that any user in the games group
can edit all save files, so if you want to hack your own saves, go
ahead :). Or if you trust all games users.
Doesn't look like there's any newer version of NetHack out, either.
Cheers,
