What you want is a weekly cron entry to the effect of:
emerge sync > /dev/null 2>&1; emerge -uDplv world

That will tell you what new packages are available and tell you what has 
changed. The only difference between this and rhn is that your computer needs 
to be online at the time of the cron job where as rhn will email you and you 
can pick it up the next time you go online.

Jason

man emerge :
--changelog (-l)
Use this in conjunction with the --pretend  action.   This will
show  the  ChangeLog  entries  for all the packages that will be 
upgraded.
