Just saw this on the Wiki (Portage utilities not in Portage), and
thought it might be something for you:
tsportageview (forums) (sample-html-output) (download)
* Show descriptions of packages in a given portage category(-ies).
It may use <longdescription> from metadata.xml files. The output can be
coloured text (requires color package) or html with links towards
package homepages.
