I don't know what gave you the idea that ppc* has anything to do with
masking/unmasking of KDE-4.6. Just 2 facts:
 1) you can unmask anything by using /etc/portage/package.unmask,
therefore nothing can ever hold *you* back
 2) arches already have independent package.mask files, see
${PORTDIR}/profiles/arch/powerpc/package.mask for an example.
