And I recommend that you do *not* set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 unless you
are prepared for the consequences.
It is very much a testing environment, where either the ebuild or the
package itself might not be completely stable, or worse, incompatible
with previous configuration files or other packages on your system.
Baselayout and udev have been particularly 'dangerous' on ~x86
recently.
Additionally, ~x86 updates more frequently than x86, so you will have
much more downloading and compiling to do at each update.
Yes ~x86 does work most of the time, and the Gentoo devs are extremely
good at fixing problems quickly. But it can be expected to break
occasionally, and you need to know what do when it does.
If you want ~x86 for specific packages, use /etc/portage/package.keywords.
