This is all about masking as the 0.20 version in gentoo is considered
"unstable" or for a better word untested.

To fix this add the following to your /etc/portage/package.keywords file (if
it does not exist create one):

media-plugins/mythbrowser ~x86 ~amd64
media-plugins/mythbrowser-svn ~x86 ~amd64
media-plugins/mythcontrols-svn ~x86 ~amd64
media-plugins/mythdvd ~x86 ~amd64
media-plugins/mythdvd-svn ~x86 ~amd64
media-plugins/mythgallery ~x86 ~amd64
media-plugins/mythgallery-svn ~x86 ~amd64
media-plugins/mythgame ~x86 ~amd64
media-plugins/mythgame-svn ~x86 ~amd64
media-plugins/mythmusic ~x86 ~amd64
media-plugins/mythmusic-svn ~x86 ~amd64
media-plugins/mythnews ~x86 ~amd64
media-plugins/mythnews-svn ~x86 ~amd64
media-plugins/mythtv-themes ~x86 ~amd64
media-plugins/mythvideo ~x86 ~amd64
media-plugins/mythvideo-svn ~x86 ~amd64
media-plugins/mythweather ~x86 ~amd64
media-plugins/mythweather-svn ~x86 ~amd64
media-plugins/mythweb ~x86 ~amd64
media-tv/mythtv ~x86 ~amd64
