The prefix ~ says that a program (not the ebuild) is unstable, the
prefix ^ means, that the package is nearly unusable and no prefix means
that the app runs mostly stable.

x86 says "Intel compatible CPU", ppc says "PowerPC CPU" etc.

So ~x86 means that an app runs unstable on systems with an Intel
compatible CPU and ^ppc means, that an app is nearly unusable on PC with
PPC (Macs) etc.
