The MythTV packages are still marked as unstable, so you'll need to
override this.  Create /etc/portage/packages/keywords/mythtv (if you
already have a file /etc/portage/packages/keywords then you can use that
instead - it's a bit cleaner if you separate them by usage though) and
add the following lines:

<media-tv/mythtv-0.21
<x11-themes/mythtv-themes-0.21
<media-plugins/mytharchive-0.21
<media-plugins/mythbrowser-0.21
<media-plugins/mythcontrols-0.21
<media-plugins/mythdvd-0.21
<media-plugins/mythflix-0.21
<media-plugins/mythgallery-0.21
<media-plugins/mythgame-0.21
<media-plugins/mythmusic-0.21
<media-plugins/mythnews-0.21
<media-plugins/mythphone-0.21
<media-plugins/mythvideo-0.21
<media-plugins/mythweather-0.21
<www-apps/mythweb-0.21

This'll enable any version of MythTV (and plugins) less than 0.21.  This
should include any versions based on 0.20-fixes SVN but exclude anything
from SVN head (which should go in as 0.21_pre).

You may need to add other applications to this list, if they're
dependencies for MythTV.  In this case, add them with specific versions
(e.g. =media-libs/libdts-0.0.2-r5) as you'll probably want to stick to
stable versions where possible.

HTH,
