I think what you're talking about is the file you need to create 
called /etc/portage/profile/package.provided

This serves the same pupose as --inject. For example, I added these (among 
others) to my package.provided file ( I compiled alsa into the kernel, and I 
don't want emerge to get the others).

media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.8
kde-base/kdegames-3.4.0
kde-base/kdeedu-3.4.0
kde-base/kdetoys-3.4.0

you could also do:

>=kde-base/kdegames-3.4.0 

to never worry about that package on an emerge -u kde later on.
