In this case it's in the description and hence easy to find (emerge -S would 
work too but that's painfully slow so use app-portage/eix instead...):

# eix -S nslookup
[I] net-dns/bind-tools
     Available versions:  9.2.5 9.2.6 9.2.6-r3 9.3.2 9.3.2-r3
     Installed:           9.3.2-r3[17:04:32 30/10/06][-idn -ipv6]
     Homepage:            http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/bind9.html
     Description:         bind tools: dig, nslookup, and host

But otherwise the only option that I know of (short of asking someone who 
knows) is:
