I am trying to downgrade the xorg server in my ~amd64 installation and I put these lines in the package.mask file 

>=app-eselect/eselect-opengl-1.3.1-r2

>x11-base/xorg-server-1.15.2-r2
>=x11-base/xorg-server-1.16.4
>=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-343
>media-video/nvidia-settings-331.20

>=x11-proto/glproto-1.4.17
>=media-libs/mesa-10.3.7-r1

Now, when I try to emerge xorg-server like in the attachment, portage tries to upgrade the server even tough it's put in package.mask. Even eix shows it as unmasked. 
(chroot) Gentoo-2012 ~ # eix xorg-server 
[U] x11-base/xorg-server
     Available versions:  1.12.4-r4(0/1.12.4) 1.15.2-r2(0/1.15.2) [m]1.16.4(0/1.16.1) [m](~)1.16.4-r1(0/1.16.1) (~)1.16.4-r2(0/1.16.1) [m](~)1.17.1(0/1.17.1) [m](~)1.17.1-r1(0/1.17.1)

Notice the missing [m] in front of 1.16.4-r2 .

Also the same thing happens with glproto
(chroot) Gentoo-2012 ~ # eix glproto 
[U] x11-proto/glproto
     Available versions:  1.4.16 (~)1.4.16-r1 [m]1.4.17 (~)1.4.17-r1
