AFAIK, there is no list that portage uses. However, maybe you could use
quickpkg for this? You could script it, e.g. write the list yourself (it also
accepts sets as input argument) and feed it to quickpkg periodically. Maybe
that or something similar would work for you?

You can restrict it to the system set by using buildsyspkg instead of buildpkg
(see make.conf(5)).
