Well, actually all policykit packages are masked and keyworded by portage already. [-P-] [M~] sys-auth/policykit-0.9 (0) [-P-] [M~] sys-auth/policykit-0.9-r1 (0) [-P-] [M~] sys-auth/policykit-0.92 (0) So I would think you need to unmask the version you do want to install and then leave the rest alone. Basically remove everything policykit from mask and just add =sys-auth/policykit-0.9-r1 to unmask and keyword files. If it ever goes stable, it will upgrade at that time as well. I hope that helps.
