That would be emerge.  Sorry.  Should have been more clear on that. 
Should look something like this:

root@smoker / # emerge -pv gimp

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] media-gfx/gimp-2.4.6  USE="alsa curl dbus exif hal mmx

You may want to consider using a profile that is most closely to what
