It's probably masked because it's not been tested - not enough testers for all packages.
5.2.13 is masked for all arch at the moment including ~amd64/~x86, I don't think anyone even thought about x86-macos or amd64-macos.
You could try:
echo "=net-misc/whois-5.2.13 **" >> /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords

Portage knows. Ask it by trying to install the package: emerge --ask --verbose net-misc/whois. When it refuses, it will explain why. |
