I already knew about revdep-rebuild. It doesn't do what I need, so I've
written a script which has solved my problems and here it is in case
anyone is interested:
for i in `equery list`;
do
  for j in `equery files =$i`;
  do
    if [ ! -d "$j" ] && [ ! -f "$j" ];
    then
      echo "File $j from ebuild $i is missing"
    fi
  done
done
