I'm not sure this will apply.  I know this option works in some uses but
not sure about yours.  You may want to try it tho and see if it does
what you want. 


       -o, --overlay-tree
              Include package from overlays in the search path.


I use it this way at times:

equery list -po <package>

That tells it to include packages that are in my local overlay, or other
overlays as well. 

May not help but it might.
