Quick and dirty: firefox has a USE=jumbo-build which certainly seems
unlikely to have a binpkg variant (what would the point be?) -- so let's
try disabling it:
$ USE="-jumbo-build" emerge -p =www-client/firefox-128.14.0
[ebuild N ] www-client/firefox-128.14.0 USE="X clang dbus
gmp-autoupdate system-av1 system-harfbuzz system-icu system-jpeg
system-libevent system-libvpx system-webp telemetry -debug -eme-free
-gnome-shell -hardened -hwaccel -jack -jumbo-build -libproxy -openh264
-pgo -pulseaudio (-selinux) -sndio -system-png -wasm-sandbox -wayland
-wifi" L10N="-ach -af -an -ar -ast -az -be -bg -bn -br -bs -ca
-ca-valencia -cak -cs -cy -da -de -dsb -el -en-CA -en-GB -eo -es-AR
-es-CL -es-ES -es-MX -et -eu -fa -ff -fi -fr -fur -fy -ga -gd -gl -gn
-gu -he -hi -hr -hsb -hu -hy -ia -id -is -it -ja -ka -kab -kk -km -kn

-te -th -tl -tr -trs -uk -ur -uz -vi -xh -zh-CN -zh-TW" LLVM_SLOT="19
-17 -18"
This *forced* it to show as [ebuild] rather than [binary], which means
we get:
!!! The following binary packages have been ignored due to non matching USE:
=www-client/firefox-128.14.0 gnome-shell jumbo-build pulseaudio wayland
=www-client/firefox-128.14.0 gnome-shell jumbo-build pgo
=www-client/firefox-128.14.0 gnome-shell jumbo-build pgo pulseaudio
=www-client/firefox-128.14.0 gnome-shell jumbo-build pgo wayland
=www-client/firefox-128.14.0 gnome-shell jumbo-build pgo pulseaudio
wayland
=www-client/firefox-128.14.0 jumbo-build pulseaudio wayland
Those suggest the totality of distinct package.use options available,
e.g. base USE:
X clang dbus gmp-autoupdate system-av1 system-harfbuzz system-icu
system-jpeg system-libevent system-libvpx system-webp telemetry
LLVM_SLOT="19"
+
(first line) gnome-shell jumbo-build pulseaudio wayland
==
X clang dbus gmp-autoupdate system-av1 system-harfbuzz system-icu
system-jpeg system-libevent system-libvpx system-webp telemetry
gnome-shell jumbo-build pulseaudio wayland LLVM_SLOT="19"
You can also manually process the index with awk. I demoed this recently
at https://bugs.gentoo.org/961621#c10
Just change the /CPV:.*wxGTK/ that you are scanning for, e.g.
/CPV:.*www-client.firefox-128/
