thus far neither portage nore pkgcore have this capability.

xargs. Learn it.
yes Ciaran there is more than one way to skin a cat. It was also suggested to use a for loop. But both of these seem to be workarounds. although perhaps I am wrong in this case.

Hey, don't forget:
emerge $(<package-list)
But, seriously, this seems like a feature that would not be very useful to add to the package manager by itself. Are you maybe looking for package sets?
Well you can do this with update[1]:
UPDATE_FILE=packages update
Not quite the same as stdin, but same as your example with only one command and no subshell. Haven't used it in ages, though. I agree sets do a lot of what you're after, and most of the rest would be with update -Nr where N is 0-9, for me at least ;)

You can use it with any of the 3 package managers, though we haven't tested paludis. see update -h config if you do try it.
