If you installed it with portage, you should have it in world.
I've installed with portage, but with --oneshop option. This is because (as Holly said) E17 packages need to be installed in proper order. So I use a script to update E-related packages. I think if I would let portage update them something would get messed up...
So, in the end, can't I use depclean without adding these packages to world file?

Do you have the wind32codecs USE flag set? Have you changed it recently?
Did you do "emerge -uavDN world" before depclean? If you didn't, your
current USE flags may be out of sync with what the packages were actually
merged with.
I don't have that flag set.. never had. Should I? And, first of all, why do I have win32codecs without having the flag? Was it a dependence of a prior version of mplayer?
