Also, be aware that Myth SVN is masked in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask.

So, to use SVN, you'll want to add the following to /etc/portage/package.unmask:

media-tv/mythtv
x11-themes/mythtv-themes

That'll unmask all version of mythtv and mythtv-themes.  Instead, you
can unmask specific versions, if you choose.
