Zenity is a great tool, it creates a gtk dialog box using shell commands.

The following line shows how you can make a emerge without worry waiting for a terminal response.

emerge -NDupv world >/tmp/newpackage && zenity --text-info --filename=/tmp/newpackage && zenity --question --text="emerge?" && emerge -NDuv world
