ls /var/db/pkg/*
will give you a list of all installed packages.

The portage user guide talks about this. Basically do
rsync -avz rsync://cvs.gentoo.org/gentoo-x86-portage/* /usr/portage
It doesn't affect already installed packages in any way whatsoever.
All it does it update your portage area. Then you can do ebuilds or
whatever and update whatever packages you want to update.
