Note that some FEATURES may in fact trigger various portage bashrc 
customizations.  While Ed Catmur disappeared some time ago now, I still 
use some of his bashrc customizations, including FEATURES=patchtree, for 
instance.  There were others, but many of them were more dev focused than 
I as a user am, so it's likely that various devs still use a possibly 
further customized version of the same scripts, today.

The point being, due to customization it's not reasonable to expect a 
full mapping, FEATURES or other variable, tho at least some of the above 
would appear to be legitimate mainline portage if perhaps not yet well 
documented FEATURES.
