I'm not sure if the logs are stored by default, but if you set
PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save" in make.conf, portage saves one log per
package in $PORTAGE_LOGDIR/elog. You can also have portage mail them to
you. See /usr/share/portage/config/make.conf.example for details.

There are also tools available to view these logs more comfortably:
app-portage/elogv and app-portage/elogviewer.

Kind regards, tastytea
