You could use the very long way round, something based on this:
find /etc/ -type f -exec equery belongs {} \;
then leave it alone for an hour or three
Hmmmm, I had to stop that after a few minutes. It sort of took away from
my folding. Pushed my CPU to about 80% or so.
There has to be a tool for this too. Gentoo has about everything else.
I do a similar thing every month as a cron job. It' runs at night so I
just get an email the next day.

Will this work without a email? I could just run it in screen if needed.

It looks like it uses crons email output to handle the mail, so you
probably could run it under screen/dtach and not have a problem.
You could also run it through nice and redirect the output to a file in
your home dir so that you won't even have to bother with reattaching the
term.
I'll try it in screen and see what happens. I didn't see anything
related to mail but thought I may be missing something. Will report
back later. I do wish portage had this little feature builtin tho.
Oh, got my backups handy too. LOL
