First off, I second that. Second, here's how you still get where you
want without looking up the category:

$ cd gentoo-x86/*/foo

This of course doesn't work if there are multiple packages with the same
name in different categories, but if a package maintainer doesn't
specify the category in such a case, he should be hit anyway ;P
