it's a hack, but you could edit the overlay ebuild and take out the 
KEYWORDS...

You can also tell portage to prefer your /usr/portage directory over an 
overlay, by setting make.conf:
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage /usr/portage"
(or something - play around with the order).  But then this is done for 
all packages (with the same version).

HTH,
