Hi,
Is there a way to search for a file that I can install, but is not
currently installed in the system?
For example:
$ equery belongs zzdir
[ Searching for file(s) zzdir in *... ]
dev-libs/zziplib-0.13.59-r1 (/usr/bin/zzdir)
$ eix -I zziplib
[I] dev-libs/zziplib
Available versions: 0.13.58-r1 0.13.59-r1 {doc sdl static-libs test}
Installed versions: 0.13.59-r1(09:22:31 10/30/10)(sdl -doc
-static-libs -test)
Homepage: http://zziplib.sourceforge.net/
Description: Lightweight library used to easily extract
data from files archived in a single zip file
Here zziplib is installed.
I would like equery return the same output when zziplib is not installed.
Is it possible?

Well, this is not something you install but you can use this site to
look for files that some unknown package provides.
http://www.portagefilelist.de/index.php/Special:PFLQuery2
Just type in the name and see what package it shows providing that file.
If you can, install app-portage/pfl and you can help build the list of
files as well. I run mine every few weeks or when I install something new.
Hope that helps.
