Yep. That information is hidden deep down in the "emerge" man page...

  --verbose [ y | n ] (-v short option)
      Tell  emerge to run in verbose mode.  Currently this flag causes
      emerge to print out GNU info errors, if any, and to show the USE
      flags  that  will  be used for each package when pretending. The
      following symbols are affixed to USE flags in order to  indicate
      their status:

      Symbol   Location    Meaning
      ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
      -        prefix      not enabled (either disabled or removed)
      *        suffix      transition to or from the enabled state
      %        suffix      newly added or removed
      ()       circumfix   forced, masked, or removed
      {}       circumfix   state is bound to FEATURES settings
