Here's a little bash function that might help:

explainuseflag() {
  sed -ne "s,^\([^ ]*:\)\?$1 - ,,p" \
    /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc \
    /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc
}

Then you can do:

bash $ explainuseflag xinerama
Add support for XFree86's xinerama extension, which allows you to
stretch your display across multiple monitors
