Of course you'll need a database (but not in /etc!). It might
be /var/db/pkg or separate one, that is an implementation detail which
I am not able to tell without knowledge of portage implementation.
Besides there is such database now - it is your (abused) package.use!
You have to manually add entries to it and I do not know any database
slower than human typing to a text file ;-) (There is autounmask option
of course but then you allow portage to mess with your files which is
not a good thing.)
