eix isn't bad and it's the fastest I know. I don't use cfengine so I 
can't tell you if there are adverse effects to using it with portage. 
You're maybe just not calling eix in the right way tog et the info you 
want, here are a few examples:

*kyron linux-2.6.26-rc5-mm3 # eix -Ic c3
*No matches found.*
kyron linux-2.6.26-rc5-mm3 # eix -Ic portage*
[I] app-portage/portage-utils (0.1.29@04/13/2008): small and fast 
portage helper tools written in C
[I] sys-apps/portage (2.1.4.4@06/11/2008): Portage is the package 
management and distribution system for Gentoo
