There’s no such flag for openjdk-17 indeed, which is what your output shows. It’s a flag for :8 and :11 It’s stable-masked, so you have to unmask this flag on stable system to install unstable-only geogebra.

I dont understand what you mean. I didn't even know flags could be masked. I googled that, and it seems i can't 'unmask' a flag from /etc/portage, i need to patch the profile files in git for this. Sounds frightening. But for a beginning, i'm running ~amd64, so "unstable" already. For ex there's not stable ebuilds for geogebra-bin, but i didn't accept_keywords it. So i'm lost about what you say about stable/unstable. I still think there's a bug. A package in the official tree (even if ~amd64) breaks right from the start.

The only way you'd get that error, I thikn, is on a stable system without putting the necessary bits in package.accept_keywords (which I think makes stable-masks get ignored) or unmasking the flag. Please give more detail, including full emerge --verbose output, and emerge --info, and grep -rsin "java" /etc/portage.
Err.. now it works (still on ~amd64). But I've updated the portage tree since then. Let's keep this ticket as invalid, i'll report with more details if i can reproduce it.
Situation you’ve described (flag does not exist but something depends on it) is simply illegal and wouldn’t pass automated CI and will not hit sync mirrors or user systems. Likely some local configuration caused a blip. Anyway, let us know if you still have a problem but with more output next time, like Sam mentioned. Good luck.
