Besides the command line interface, apt-get has 'aptitude', an ncurses graphical interface that can be used in text mode or GUI. As far as I know, portage is command line only. The emerge command (portage) has lots of switches/variations, so it takes a little learning. Both have search features for finding what package does what. I haven't made up my mind which I like more, but I haven't really studied aptitude much, yet.
