When you want a single unstable package, it's worth a try doing

  ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -u --nodeps packagename

You'd ofcourse have to do
  emerge -up packagename
first, in order to verify that you have all the dependancies of the stable 
package installed. Odds are that the unstable depends on the same packages 
and that the --nodeps emerge will work just fine.
