Thank you.

How do you see that radicale is marked for testing?

I don't have /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask on my system, but I
found a second package.mask in

         /var/db/repos/gentoo/profiles/package.mask

but it doesn't mention radicale.

Are you saying that if a package is "masked", portage is only aware of
that fact because it's specified in a file on my system? But it's also
shown as "masked" here:

https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/www-apps/radicale.

The actual error mesg:

/      !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "radicale" have been masked.//
//      !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete
your request://
//      - www-apps/radicale-3.1.7::gentoo (masked by: ~amd64 keyword)//
//      - www-apps/radicale-3.1.5::gentoo (masked by: ~amd64 keyword)//
/

The asterisks were supplied by thunderbird (or something thereafter) to
implement the "Bold" font I specified.
