If emerge has a large number of installs to do, for example, during a
world update, and I am in a tty, how would I find which one emerge is up to?

Not sure if I understand your question, but you possibly want to take a
look at /var/log/emerge.log

not sure what you mean about tty, but if you
have a command prompt, then:

tail -f /var/log/emerge.log
