| Code: | | emerge unmerge <packagename> |
For more information, you might try the Portage User Guide.
Or, simply 'man emerge'

As klieber stated, the Portage User Guide is the place to be.
I make use of the gentoolkit "qpkg" command. First, emerge the gentookit and then run qpkg. This will give you a list of all your installed packages. Find the package you want to unmerge and use the complete name (FQPN---Fully Qualified Portage Name?  ) in the unmerge command.
| Code: |
spock root # emerge gentoolkit
....
....
spock root # qpkg
app-admin/fam-oss-2.6.7 *
app-admin/gentoolkit-0.1.9 *
app-admin/gkrellm-1.2.11 *
app-admin/metalog-0.6-r9 *
app-admin/sudo-1.6.6 *
app-admin/superadduser-1.0-r1 *
spock root # emerge unmerge =app-admin/fam-oss-2.6.7

NOTE: The = sign is REQUIRED when using unmerge in this fashion. This was not clearly documented, IMHO.
Happy unmerging...

If you man emerge it will tell you different ways to do it.
The way I like to do is
| Code: | | emerge unmerge /var/db/pkg/<category>/<product with version> |
