You can do this quite easily with a shell function. Here's a slightly modded
version of the one we use in update:
# returns true if there was a version
getPkgNameVer() {
        case "$1" in
        *-cvs[0-9]*)
                pName=${1%-cvs[0-9]*}
                pVer=${1#$pName-}
;;      *-[0-9]*)
                pName=${1%%-[0-9]*} # from first -N
                pVer=${1#$pName-}
;;      *)
                pName=$1
                pVer=
;;      esac
        pCat=${pName%/*}; pN=${pName#*/}
        [ "$pVer" ] && return 0
        return 1
}
..which leaves the results in globals pName (which includes cat) pVer, pCat
and pN (no category.) It handles cvs ebuilds as well, and is in sh.

to the problem autounmask solves, unmasking all deps of a packages. I'd
suggest taking a look at it/asking ian about it; I never got into it as
it's in Perl, but we do use it as an external for update.
