Doesn't seem possible. That USE flag seems to get ignored by portage:

   emerge --info bash
   [...]
   app-shells/bash-4.3_p39::gentoo was built with the following:
   USE="net (policykit) (readline) -afs -bashlogger -examples
   -mem-scramble -nls -plugins -vanilla" ABI_X86="64"

So "readline" is enabled. But:

   echo "app-shells/bash -readline" >> /etc/portage/package.use
   emerge -uDN --with-bdeps=y @world
   [...]
   Nothing to merge; quitting.

That USE flag doesn't do anything.
