Yes, using programs from portage-utils.

qtbz2 -x package.tbz2 extracts an xpak archive from the binary package.
Use xpak to show or extract the contents of this file.
This look exactly like what I am looking for. However since I can't
seem to find a help or a manpage for xpak, what are its options?

Sorry, it's qxpak, all the programs start with q. See man q for the
full list.

A tbz2 file is just source code..
Assuming you are using portage, emerge -pv package will tell you the
USE flags. Or you could look at the ebuild in
/usr/portage/category/package. Also, remember that USE flags just
effect the configure options. Example, xinerama adds --enable-xinerama
to the configure options.

If this is not the answer you are looking for, please be more specific.
