You can try the plasma-emergelog plasmoid
(http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/plasma-emergelog?content=103928). 
There are ebuilds for the 0.0.1, 0.02 and development version in the kde 
overlay. This isn't a GUI interface for portage: it simply displays the last 
entries of the emerge log file (it also works with paludis and pkgcore) and is 
updated as the log file changes.
