Hey!

There is one interesting part in the output of emerge
 >> x11-plugins/beryl-plugins-0.1.99.2 (masked by: missing keyword)
This means that the package hasn't been tested yet.
So you need to replace the following in package.keywords
x11-plugins/beryl-plugins
by
x11-plugins/beryl-plugins ~x86

If you are using another architecture than x86  (like amd64) you need to 
write ~amd64 instead

Cheers,
Jay
