You don't need an overlay to test a masked package, just unmask it

echo "net-misc/networkmanager" >>/etc/portage/package.unmask

You may fond that it was masked for a good reason, or you may find that
it works fine for you. Check /usr/portage/profile/package.mask for the
reason for masking. In this case it simply says masked for testing, which
I tend to take as an invitation to test :)
