If you are used to rpm, or simply prefer the format of its output, there
is also the rpm-like command, epm and you can

$ epm -ql package


app-portage/epm

to be frank, it really amazes me that gentoo has so many options for a
simple task. It looks really flexible. I came from debian.

Well, to quote a old song, you ain't seen nothing yet.  It amazes me
that you can ask how to find out something and you get about 5 or 6
different ways to do the same thing.  That's not even counting different
options that can be used for the same command. 

I would urge you to check into the q command and equery.  I !think!
the q command is part of portage.  It may be part of gentoolkit tho. 
Just the q command has more than a dozen different things it does. 
equery can do a lot too but some say it has some accuracy problems at
times.  It works for my little simple stuff tho.

Hope that gives you a little more pointers.

I'll give you another one, and it doesn't require you to install any
extra package:

# cat /var/db/pkg/category/package-version/CONTENTS

I'm not sure this is what you are talking about but this may help:

equery files package name

emerge gentoolkit for that command.
