I think you want "emerge clean", from man page:

       clean (-c)
              Cleans the system by removing packages that will not effect  the
              functionality  of  the  system.   The  arguments can be ebuilds,
              classes, or dependencies.  For example,  emerge  clean  binutils
              cleans    out   old   versions   of   binutils;   emerge   clean
              net-www/mozilla-0.9.9-r2 cleans out  that  specific  version  of
              Mozilla.   This  is  generally safe to use. Note that clean does
              not remove unslotted packages.

Hope this helps,

Martyn
