If so, then add
app-crypt/cfs ~x86 to /etc/portage/package.keywords (create this file if it does not exist). If you'd like to go totally ~x86 (unstable), you can just add ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" to /etc/make.conf When you've done either one, just emerge cfs normally (emerge cfs), and you should get the ~x86 version.
