I think he was trying to point out that ~x86 will give you a newer version
of dir2ogg even if you're running PPC or something else. It's not a good
idea, because it could give you a known-broken-on-PPC version that's in
testing for x86 (if there were such a version) or not give you a testing
version for PPC known to be broken on x86, but portage doesn't
fundamentally care whether your keywords actually make any sense together.
