Well portage is a non-interactive tool and it's staying that way.
For what you want you will need to edit the busybox/-sources/uClibc 
ebuild and manually add in a call to make menuconfig. 
Or add something like this untested example to your 
local /etc/portage/bashrc

if [[ $EBUILD_PHASE == compile ]]; then
 case "$PN" in
    busybox)
    uclibc)
    *-sources)
      echo "we are at the stage where portage has unpacked the "
      echo "ebuild and is getting ready to compile."
      echo "being that no portage dev in his/her right mind would ever"
      echo "allow interactive code in an ebuild we use bashrc tricks"
      echo "here to get what Kristian is after"
      /usr/bin/make menuconfig || exit 1
      ;;
   esac
fi
