If you have the asterisk-ebuild (and all related files) still available,
you could try to migrate it to a local overlay [1][2]. Otherwise, tell
Portage you are handle this package yourself by adding it to:
/etc/portage/profile/package.provided
This file can be used to hold a specific version — even the package is
no longer in tree. But notice, this isn’t the whole truth as mentioned
in [3]. Portage will not update listed packages unless another package
requires a newer version of it.
Give it a try and invoke:
emerge --pretend --verbose net-misc/asterisk
to ensure if it’ll work as expected.
