If you checked sysvinit's changelog, the latest (-r3) has a note about
something that sysvinit will no longer make because it's now provided
by unix-utils. (Sorry, I forgot what, exactly).

So in this case, installing sysvinit < -r3 will conflict with unix-utils.

It is not that unknown -- in the Gentoo world -- for a stable package
to pull in an unstable package, because packages don't get stabilized
at the same time.

So, just put in the line '=sys-apps/sysvinit-2.88-r3 ~amd64 ~x86' in
/etc/portage/package.accept_keywords and be merry :)

Personally, I'd put '<=sys-apps/sysvinit-2.88-r99 ~amd64 ~x86' in that
file. I have the conviction that versions with greater '-r' would be
better, since it's a revision to the same version.

(Of course, this bit me once, when a hardened-sources with larger -r
is buggy; but the problem was fixed with a newer -r after two or three
days.)

Rgds,
