I haven't tried this in years but from this link:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/2004.2/handbook-x86.xml?part=3&chap=6
there is this text:

itself are valid, you can regenerate the Manifest and digest-<package>
file using ebuild's digest functionality:
Code Listing 2.3: Regenerate Manifest and digest
# ebuild path/to/ebuild digest
