Is there a way to get the list of packages that depend on a package

cd /var/db/pkg
find . -name DEPEND | xargs grep avifile
Unfortunately this only lists locally installed packages.
The reverse operation for finding a list of dependent packages for a
package is provided with 'emerge --emptytree -p mozilla'. Is there
something like that for the first question?

(I don't have avifile installed)
so... emerge gentoolkit
run equery with no arguments to see what it can do.
