I don't think so. But: /etc/portage/bashrc is evaluated by emerge, and you
can put any stuff you want into there. Like this:

if [[ $CATEGORY/$PN == sys-apps/man-pages ]]
then
LINGUAS=
fi


It seems to be common practice to put some more general code into there, and
have package-specific file in sub-directories. Mine look slike this:

envFile=/etc/portage/package.env/$CATEGORY/$PN
if [[ -f $envFile-$PV ]]
then
. "$envFile-$PV"
elif [[ -f $envFile ]]
then
. "$envFile"
fi

So I would have a file /etc/portage/package.env/sys-apps/man-pages
containing "LINGUAS=",
