Well, most. Probably a subset of "all", and if anything gets stuck half way, 
you'll
want to know which remaining packages need merged.

    find /usr/share/man/ -name "*.bz2" -print0 | xargs -0 qfile -qC | sort -u

This aught to be a good starting point for determining which packages to 
re-emerge.

And if you've already done this, knowing which files are no longer "tracked" by 
portage
so you can purge them might be helpful:

    find /usr/share/man/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 qfile -Co

I myself found some weird things lurking ...

    /usr/share/man/:
    /usr/share/man/tack:
    /usr/share/man/ize ;-) ...                                                  
                                                     [ ok ]
