You can run 'emerge --depclean -p -v | less' to be able to move up/down to inspect the full output, after the command has completed producing its output (it takes a few seconds). Alternatively, you can your command(s) within screen[1], or tmux[2] and use the appropriate keybinding to jump up/down in the buffer.
