Although not the most acceptable way, does this not work?

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -pv om

I had ~amd64 due to the machine I tried it on yesterday.

The problem with the above method is it would five you ~x86 for
anything else it pulls in. A more acceptable way would be to add

media-sound/om ~x86

to /etc/portage/package.keywords. That will give you ~x86 for om and
stable for everything else. If that method runs into some package
that's also masked, then you add that package to package.keywords
until you have what you need.

I'd emerge this now but I'm in the middle of a qt rebuilt to
(hopefully) fix a problem with MythTV.

Cool. I'll take a look.

Thanks,
