  The elegant solution is outlined in my post...
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/gentoo/user/275977#275977

I.e. *UNTIL SUCH TIME AS EUDEV HITS STABLE* (on whatever arch you're
using), add the entry

<sys-fs/eudev-9999 ~amd64

to package.keywords (replace amd64 with your arch if necessary).
Basically, if you keyword a specific version, and the ebuild gets
removed by "emerge --sync", there are no eudev ebuilds to satisfy
virtual/udev.  So portage falls back to udev.  My solution isn't
hard-coded to any one version, and is immune to to version bumps and
removals.
