search package containg a file

Is there any way to search a package that contains a specific file?
I came from the RPM camp, and I'm looking for something similar to rpm -qf filename.
Thanks

Hi,
if you have installed gentoolkit, use "epm -qf <filename>" (with full path to the file).

Also, if you have gentoolkit installed,

qpkg -f <path>/foo

The possibilites are endless

Although my favorite, which is similar to Guest's post is

grep foo /var/db/pkg/*/*/CONTENTS
