You need to look at cfg-update, which has gtk+ and qt+ interfaces. And
is arguably less dangerous.

Better yet, just look around in the app-portage category; there are lots
of config file update tools, in addition to the excellent ones already
present in Portage.

You also need to read the Portage handbook. It explains the built-in
update tools:
