There is no meta-info AFAIK in a binary .tar.gz, so portage does NOT
know what CFLAGS, or USE flags it is built with.
Go ahead, use quickpkg to make a binary tarball of any package on your
system, then look tat the tarball. There is nothing to indicate USE or
CFLAGS.
If you want to install binaries you have to know yourself what options
were used in the compile.
