I think you mean package.mask not package.match.
This file, which is located in /usr/portage/profiles, is used to mask ebuilds not ready for prome time usage and provided for users wishing to test them.
Each masked package usually has a comment in the file for the reason of masking.
This is a part of package.mask on my machine:
| Code: | ...
Bevin <gbevin@gentoo.org> - new grub release, splashimage path should
# be updated in the docs to be "splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz"
# instead. Also, this release hasn't been tested with xfs yet, only with
# reiserfs
# Doesn't seem to work with xfs :-(
>=sys-apps/grub-0.91
# Arcady Genkin <agenkin@thpoon.com> (May 2, 2002)
# These need to be masked because portage thinks that 0.9.0.1_beta10
# newer than 0.9.0_pre1, which is not the case here.
# NOTE: don't use ~ deps in package masks because they break 1.8.8 portage and aren't
# correct anyway -- drobbins, 02 May 2002
=media-sound/alsa-utils-0.9.0.1_beta10
=media-libs/alsa-lib-0.9.0.1_beta10
=media-libs/alsa-oss-0.9.0.1_beta10
#moving xmame to app-emulation with other emulators
#old location is deprecated. Additional game packages
#for xmame should still go into app-games
>=app-games/xmame-0.53.1

Since gnome2 is not released yet and not tested it is masked. if you wish to test/use it you need to unmask it.
Edit package.mask and comment out everything under gnome2 (or only the ebuilds you wish to use).

WHile we are on the topic of upgrading: is there any reason an existing Gentoo User should upgrade to 1.3 will an emerge-world do it for you. |
1.3 is not released yet, and differs from 1.1x and 1.2 by being purely gcc3.1 system (while 1.1a and 1.2 are 2.95.3).
This is provided only for test and things will break with it. This is for users willing to test it and report problems and bugs.
It is not ready for normal usage. And IMHO I don't think that a system based on 1.1x/1.2 upgraded with rsync will bring you to 1.3 since everything needs to be recompiled (If I'm wrong please correct).
