Is there a way I can get portage to show me all the listed kernel

I've done that, I've realized that portage is probably keeping that in
in world as installed and I would like to keep the portage db as clean
as possible.
Does that make sense?
Sure, I've worked that way as well.
A great addition is:
emerge eix and run 'update-eix'. This builds a database of installed
packages. Then
% eix gentoo-sources (or vanilla-sources or whatever)
will list all the available ebuilds for gentoo-sources and highlight
those that portage thinks are installed.
'unmerge'ing those you don't want will clean up portage's database of
installed packages. Doesn't remove /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/
though or old kernels from /boot/. Seems that manual deletion is
required here.
