Yes it is possible. But you need the shell (which handles the redirect)
to run as root.
$ sudo echo package ~x86 >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
will run the redirection as user, where:
$ sudo bash -c "echo package ~x86 >> /etc/portage/package.keywords"
will run the redirection as root.
For stuff like this, I'd recommend you to write simple shell functions:
addkeyword(){
sudo bash -c "echo $* >> /etc/portage/package.keywords"
}
Write them in your .bashrc and their avaible when you need it.
Use it like this:
$ addkeyword package ~x86
