you don't have to to anything to portage.
If a folder /etc/portage exists portage automagically scans for 
package.mask ... in this folder (like I learned from some mails in this 
list)
Thus all you have to do is to create a folder /etc/portage and add the 
file package.mask with the desired entries.
Don't know what other stuff you can add there, though.
