   I'm Paludis can do that without trouble. Its config files are (to   
   me at least) far saner. Indeed it does it in pretty much exactly your   
   example syntax, e.g. to allow unstable x86 builds in games-misc you'd   
   add this line to /etc/paludis/keywords.conf:   
      
   games-misc/* ~x86   
      
   But then of course you're stepping rather more into unsupported   
   territory...
