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)

Hello,

Isn't qfile deprecated?

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.

could fit in this thread even though the poster got the answer to his 
question.

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:

Hard work has a future payoff. Laziness pays off NOW!

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.
