It can, for example, if the major version of the kernel has changed but you
havent rebuild xorg since (I only recall having this issue once).
If you use newuse and changed-deps with emerge its probably less likely to
find other issues.

I've checked the dependencies on my system, and firefox is pulling that in
for me, but checking the ebuilds you can see it becomes a dependency from
v60 onwards;
/usr/portage/www-client/firefox $ ls
files/ firefox-52.9.0.ebuild Manifest
firefox-52.6.0.ebuild firefox-60.1.0.ebuild metadata.xml
firefox-52.8.0.ebuild firefox-61.0-r1.ebuild
/usr/portage/www-client/firefox $ grep clang *
grep: files: Is a directory
firefox-60.1.0.ebuild: >=sys-devel/clang-4.0.1
firefox-60.1.0.ebuild: has_version "sys-devel/clang:${LLVM_SLOT}"
firefox-61.0-r1.ebuild: >=sys-devel/clang-4.0.1
firefox-61.0-r1.ebuild: has_version "sys-devel/clang:${LLVM_SLOT}"
/usr/portage/www-client/firefox $
