The /etc/portage/bashrc file can be (ab)used to do all kinds of things with the emerge command. Because the use of it can allow a user to not only shoot themselves in the foot, but blow up the entire system, it isn't heavily documented. Basically, it is one of those things that if you don't know what you are doing, then either stay away from it or have extensive backups of your system. Finally, this doesn't mean that you shouldn't use Neil's suggestion. Just make sure that you are comfortable with the supplied bashrc before implementing.
