R-2.0.0 problems
As an absolute Gentoo beginner I'm unable to install the latest version of the
statistical software R which is included in my portage tree.

here it is the log of my session made of different trials:
<snip>
gentoo root # emerge =dev-lang/R-2.0.0
Calculating dependencies
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "=dev-lang/R-2.0.0" have been masked.
!!! possible candidates are:
- dev-lang/R-2.0.0 (masked by: ~keyword)

!!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct.
gentoo root # emerge =/dev-lang/R-2.0.0
Calculating dependencies
emerge: there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy
"=/dev-lang/R-2.0.0".

!!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct.
gentoo root # emerge "=dev-lang/R-2.0.0"
Calculating dependencies
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "=dev-lang/R-2.0.0" have been masked.
!!! possible candidates are:
- dev-lang/R-2.0.0 (masked by: ~keyword)

!!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct.
</snip>

Could you please help me?

It means the latest release is classed as a testing ebuild, and
not in the stable portage tree. Assuming you are running x86:

man portage
mkdir -p /etc/portage
echo "R ~x86" >>/etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge =dev-lang/R-2.0.0
