I don't know if this is fixed in anything newer than 2.0.48-r3 or not, but here 
it is anyway.

portage.py:5031 has
pkgmasklines+=grabfile("/etc/portage/profiles/package.mask")
pkgunmasklines=grabfile("/etc/portage/package.unmask");

Could this please be made consistant?

Furthermore, could the location please be provided as a variable, instead of 
hardcoded?

One other hardcoded directories I have noticed in portage.py:
/var/db/pkg
/var/tmp
/var/cache/edb
