The methods vary between command line tools. You can for example disable the 'manpager' USE flag for sys-apps/man-db. The manual page for emerge mentions different methods (search for "--color"). Depending on the terminal software you use, you might be able to select monochromatic colour profiles (iterm2 for macOS does support this). -Ralph
