Or vise-versa but from 'emerge --help':
--searchdesc (-S short option)
Matches the search string against the description field as well as the
package's name. Take caution as the descriptions are also matched as
regular expressions.
emerge -S html
emerge -S applet
emerge -S 'perl.*module'
So doing an "emerge -S 'perl.*tk'" would return similar results. Right?
