I guess, it would be possible to generate a install mask from LINGUAS and all available LANGs.

Zac, do you feel like implementing INSTALL_MASK_EXCLUDE?

Sure.

Feel free to correct me, but I was thinking about something like:
for i in /usr/share/locale/*; do 
  [[ -d $i ]] || continue
  for l in ${LINGUAS}; do
     [[ $l = ${i##*/} ]] || echo "$i/*"
  done 
done > INSTALL_MASK

Hmm, did we decided anything on this?

To be honest, I have no clue how this ended up. But I doubt anything will happen here. I recall preparing some initial patches on reworking INSTALL_MASK in Portage but I don't recall how that ended up.
