Thanks :)
Reason I thought this is relevant is: I'm basically looking for an API
to get an installed package's version/rev. I prefer that over making
syntactical assumptions on the way portage names packages.
Taking RPM for example, there's such an API: something like rpm -q
--queryformat '%{VERSION}|' PKG_NAME if I remember correctly.|

Given the following:

How do I safely extract the "2.1.4.5"?
That's probably offtopic for this list, since it really has nothing to
do with portage itself. However, you probably want something like:
qlist -Iv sys-apps/portage | sed -e 's:^.*-\([0-9][^-_]*\).*$:\1:'
