Yes.  This is exactly what I was thinking, but doing something like requires
=x11-libs/fltk-1.3* if Gentoo's EBuild versioning system allows it.  (I'm
guessing FLTK-1.3 updates will progress something like 1.3.0, 1.3.1, 1.3.2, ...
until FLTK-1.3 and FLTK-2.0 are combined into FLTK-3.0.)

I'm going to be stumped if the EBuild versioning system doesn't allow globbing
versions with the equals sign. :-/

Some great ideas there.  I'm a perfectionist at heart and would likely document
comments in both the ebuild and filed bug comments. ;-)
