Possibly:

[11:21 AM]wwong man8 $ equery belongs ping.8.bz2 
[ Searching for file(s) ping.8.bz2 in *... ]
net-misc/iputils-20070202 (/usr/share/man/man8/ping.8.bz2)
[11:21 AM]wwong man8 $ equery uses iputils
[ Searching for packages matching iputils... ]
[ Colour Code : set unset ]
[ Legend : Left column  (U) - USE flags from make.conf              ]
[        : Right column (I) - USE flags packages was installed with ]
[ Found these USE variables for net-misc/iputils-20070202 ]
 U I
 + + doc    : Adds extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc)
 - - ipv6   : Adds support for IP version 6
 - - static : !!do not set this during bootstrap!! Causes binaries to be 
statically linked instead of dynamically

And, looking at the ebuild, 

        if use doc && type -p docbook2html ; then
                emake -j1 html man || die
        fi

So, yeah.
