It certainly would. I've just tried to find it in man eix and couldn't, but there's a lot in there. I'm going through my /etc/portage/package.use/ now (forgot about that yesterday) and I've come across a few flags which don't exist any more. As with the flags in my make.conf, I'm able to simply delete most of what I had in package.use/ and the process is going quickly.
