Try app-text/uudeview.  I happen to have just finished merging it and
creating a script using it that allows me to send attachments with PAN
(it doesn't on its own).  uudeview includes uuenview as well, which can
encode, and mail or post to a newsgroup if desired, in all sorts of
encoding formats, from the obsolete xxencode, to the near-obsolete
uuencode, to MIME/quoted-printable and MIME/base64, to yEnc (newsgroup
only, as yEnc isn't mail-safe).

It can do multi-part mails too, just give it a line-count.

uuenview/uudeview are coommand line.  There's a tcltk USE flag, however,
which controls whether a tk based X/GUI application called xdeview is
installed with the package.
