# qfile `which unbuffer`

unbuffer won't help you there anyway. That only changes when stuff is
written to the pipe.
You're actually looking for:
====
--color < y | n >
Enable or disable color output. This option will override
NOCOLOR (see make.conf(5)) and may also be used to force color
output when stdout is not a tty (by default, color is disabled
unless stdout is a tty).
=====
BTW: if you don't want that colorized output in the log, add
app-text/ansifilter (/usr/bin/ansifilter)
for reading the log.
