Well, probably not.  Off hand, perhaps portageq could provide a query that returns some type of UUID for a package, such as a hash of the ebuild.  That way, the hash from /var/db/pkg could be compared to the hash from the repo that has the news item.  If the hashes don't match, then the news item is irrelevant.
