OK, I remasked hal and got the following:

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-apps/hal-0.5.10" have been
    masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your
    request:
- sys-apps/hal-0.5.10 (masked by: package.mask, ~x86 keyword)
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask:
# Saleem Abdulrasool <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (23 Nov 2007)
# Mask this until we get the input and mounting issues worked out


For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man
page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
(dependency required by "app-misc/hal-info-20071011" [ebuild])



!!! Problem resolving dependencies for media-sound/alsa-utils
!!! Depgraph creation failed.

and if I then remask hal-info I get

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "gnome-extra/policykit-gnome" have
    been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your
    request:
- gnome-extra/policykit-gnome-0.6 (masked by: package.mask, ~x86
    keyword)
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask:
# Saleem Abdulrasool <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (23 Nov 2007)
# Mask this until we get the input and mounting issues worked out


For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man
page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
(dependency required by "gnome-base/gnome-mount-0.7" [ebuild])



!!! Problem resolving dependencies for media-sound/alsa-utils
!!! Depgraph creation failed.

So you see wher we go, it would cancel all updates of gnome or a lot
of them.



I would suggest to leave all packages which are hard-masked in it's state as there are always reasons why packages are hard-masked

sys-apps/hal-0.5.10
hal-info-20071011
gnome-extra/policykit-gnome-0.6
gnome-base/gnome-mount-0.7

If gnome is really the issue then it shouldn't go stable when a dependency is not stable!
