if i've understood your question right then may be,
# equery belongs <file>
equery comes with gentoolkit.
# emerge gentoolkit

You can alternatively try qfile from portage-utils.
# emerge portage-utils
$ qfile $(which file)

It's not.
qpkg from gentoolkit is deprecated (and is installed outside $PATH)
portage-utils also has a qpkg which is not deprecated (and installed in $PATH)
FYI: On gentoo's mailing lists bottom-posting is prefered.

but what if <package> isn't merged yet ?
expl:
how do i find out what package i need to emerge so i can use nslookup.
it's something i've been wondering for a while and i just thought it
could fit in this thread even though the poster got the answer to his
question.
thanks all

In this case it's in the description and hence easy to find (emerge -S would
work too but that's painfully slow so use app-portage/eix instead...):
# eix -S nslookup
[I] net-dns/bind-tools
Available versions: 9.2.5 9.2.6 9.2.6-r3 9.3.2 9.3.2-r3
Installed: 9.3.2-r3[17:04:32 30/10/06][-idn -ipv6]
Homepage: http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/bind9.html
Description: bind tools: dig, nslookup, and host
But otherwise the only option that I know of (short of asking someone who
knows) is:

It's not easy under any system. My favorite was trying to figure out how
to get uuencode stuff under Redhat. It's the sharutils package in case
you were wondering.
Google and the Gentoo forums are your friends when trying to find what
installs what though most of it fairly straightforward. Gentoo does have
some unique issues because the Gentoo "system" is fairly stripped down
so things like dig, telnet, or ftp are missing until you add them.
That's much of the appeal to many people.
emerge bind-tools to get nslookup, dig, host, etc.

i'm amazed by how reactive you people were, eix -S was actually what i
was looking for for so long.
thx heaps!
