Total: 9 packages (7 upgrades, 1 downgrade, 1 reinstall), Size of
downloads: 10,550 kB
Portage tree and overlays:
[0] /usr/portage

I decided that I did not want to go back to 4.5.1 so I added
=kde-base/pykde4-4.5.1
to /etc/portage/package.mask.
To my utmost surprise, I got the exact same result as before when
running the above emerge command again. I tried it with one of the
other upgrades mentioned and package.mask had the expected result.
So I'm confused. Why is package.mask not having any (apparent) effect
for pykde4? How do I prevent the downgrade?

Strange, I don't have pykde4-4.5.1-r1 at all.
What does "eix pykde4" say on your system?
On mine it says:
***

Do you have the package listed in the unmask or keyword file? If so, it
ignores the mask file. Actually, I think it reads mask first then the
others.
Hope that helps.

Ah! Yes, I do.
That explains why package.mask is being ignored, I guess, but I can't
think of a way yet to prevent the downgrade. Removing from
package.unmask just creates errors and adding 4.5.1-r1 didn't seem to
have any effect. Any ideas?

It's probably unmasked as well. I think unmask overrides mask.
As an alternative, you can try to eliminate pykde4 entirely by setting
these USE flags in your package.use:
With those, I have no pykde4 at all. I'm not sure what functionality
may be lost due to it, but I've noticed nothing that I use missing.

Do you have the same entry in package.unmask?
unmask supercedes mask

I'd check the layman setup. Does the path in /etc/layman/layman.cfg match
the one you source at the bottom of make.conf?

Sounds like some things depend on that version being installed. You may
just have to go through them one by one and add them to the appropriate
files. I did this a few days ago with qt. It's not fun but I don't
know of a better way.
You may want to check into autounmask for future use. At least that way
you can just remove things that you no longer need, want or want to
downgrade for some reason.

pykde4-4.5.1-r1 was removed from the repository, not masked.
In order to keep 4.5.1-r1 you need to obtain a copy of the ebuild and
add it to your local repository.
