Perhaps less with the LESSOPEN and LESSCLOSE environmental variables
set? Try this:

put the following in /root/portlogclose.sh

contents of /root/portlogclose.sh
---------------------------------
#! /bin/sh
rm -i $2
---------------------------------

chmod that 700

and do the following:

 # LESSOPEN="echo %s" LESSCLOSE="/root/portlogclose.sh %s %s" less 
/var/log/portage/*

It should prompt you everytime you move between files whether you want
the current file deleted or not. Just type Y or N and enter. The keys
won't echo onto the screen.
