When I do an emerge --sync, various ebuilds are loaded onto my system,

determines which package version is to be used?
I assumed this was specified by the profile (e.g. 17.1), but I can't
find any version numbers in /etc/portage/make.profile/
I just tried using a wildcard with this equery module:
(l)ist list package matching PKG
and got basically what I needed
$ equery list \* | grep readline
sys-libs/readline-7.0_p5-r1
Although, I'm still curious where that information is stored.
