emerge --pretend -vuDN world results in a list of all available updates, as well as any dependencies that would be installed, which I can then pick and choose from. I usually wait until newly available updates have been available for at least a few days before installing them, to avoid nasty surprises.
apt-get -s dist-upgrade
