Add the following line to your /etc/make.conf:

PORT_LOGDIR=/var/log/portage

This enables portage logging to the specified location, which is
disabled by default. Portage creates two different logs per package. One
contains all the compiler/make/stuff output, the other the messages that
you want to see (which one contains the messages can be easily
determined by having a look at the filesize, i.e. the smaller one is
what you are looking for).

Regards,

Karsten
