No, it is because 4.3.99 is masked (and will likely always be until it is 
removed), and you are running with KEYWORDS="amd64".  

Add "x11-base/xfree ~amd64" to your /etc/portage/package.keywords.
If /etc/portage/package.keywords doesn't exist, create the directory and 
the file and add that entry to it.
