Yeah, AFAIUI, depclean removes anything not in world.  You can do
something like 'qpkg -nc -I  > /tmp/myworld && sudo cp /tmp/myworld
/var/cache/edb/world' to add all your installed packages to world.
Just make sure to backup your world file first in case something
goes sour :)

After those commands, I think an 'emerge -D -u world' will add those
packages back.  I think there's a flag to add all newly added packages
to world, but I don't have a gentoo machine handy to check.

Yeah, you might need to set ACCPET_KEYWORDS for certain commands.
