Do that and it'll say

sudo: echo "app-portage/porthole ~*" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords: command 
not found

This has been discussed on here before.

The problem is that if you do `sudo echo foo > bar`, the echo is being
run as root, but the writing to bar isn't.

In this case, you might like to look at app-portage/flagedit (it's less
typing for a start).
