Portage currently does not store any information about where a package was
installed from. Therefore the best you can do is manually inspect the output
of `eix --installed-overlay`. It will show all packages where the version you
have installed exists in any overlay (and you can see if they exist in the
tree too). That, however, only implies that they might have been installed
from that overlay..
It does require app-portage/eix-0.8.x. Also if you use update-eix-remote you
better (re)move the eix database (/var/cache/eix) and regenerate the database
with `update-eix` first or you will get a lot of false positives. IOW you
need the eix database to only contain installed overlays.
