Add the packages needed to /etc/portage/package.unmask. You will probably have to add them to /etc/portage/package.keywords aswell as i think they are still ~ARCH only.
If you not sure whats needed then emerge the program autounmask and that will add all the entries (including any dependancies) automatically. - Nick
