equery which packagename is meant to give you the full path and name of
the ebuild file for the version of packagename that portage would
install.

however on my system it gives the latest unstable version, at least of
mythtv.

viz:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] nick $ eix ^mythtv$
* media-tv/mythtv
     Available versions:  0.16 ~0.17-r1 ~0.18
     Installed:           no
     Homepage:            http://www.mythtv.org/
     Description:         Homebrew PVR project


Found 1 matches
[EMAIL PROTECTED] nick $ etcat -v mythtv
[ Results for search key           : mythtv ]
[ Candidate applications found : 3 ]

 Only printing found installed programs.

*  media-tv/mythtv :
        [   ] 0.16 (0)
        [M~ ] 0.17-r1 (0)
        [M~ ] 0.18 (0)

Therefore both etcat and eix report that the latest stable is 0.16

However:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] nick $ equery which mythtv
/usr/portage/media-tv/mythtv/mythtv-0.18.ebuild


mythtv does not feature in /etc/portage/* and ~x86 is not set anywhere.
