For example, I can’t install package qcad because of error: “can’t find qdict.h”.
How can I find the package which provides the file qdict.h so I can install the package qcad?

Method 1
You may use the e-file command from the pfl package (emerge -av app-portage/pfl) to search by package contents.
e-file YOURFILE
Alternatively, you may use an online database.
Regarding the qcad package specifically, you probably need the Qt4 package. IIRC, use emerge -av x11-libs/qt-gui (If that doesn’t work out, try searching for QT packages. Use this query: emerge -s qt.)
