emerge -e world should catch everything on your system.  This will rebuild
everyting
in the world files, their dependencies and "system" packages.  The only
things I can
think of that would be left out are packages not listed in
/var/cache/edb/world, whether
by design or accident.  (Also left out would be dependencies of unlisted
packages which
aren't caught by listed packages.)

The above is the world according to me, and may be wrong.

Now, I'd like to twist your question and ask:  why wouldn't it?
