valgrind 
      Homepage:    http://developer.kde.org/~sewardj
      Description: An open-source memory debugger for x86-GNU/Linux

memprof
      Homepage:    http://www.gnome.org/projects/memprof/
      Description: MemProf - Profiling and leak detection


Here's another tool , not in portage but that probably doesn't deter
you:

ftp://ftp.perens.com/pub/ElectricFence/


They have different appliances all of them,  I think that memprof is the
simplest + uptodate one, whereas valgrind is far more thorough (make
sure to rebuild libraries with debuginfo and set FEATURES="nostrip"  to
get optimal information)
