Yes, which is why the emerge man page states
--prune (-P)
WARNING: This action can remove important packages! Prune
looks at each installed package and attempts to remove all
but the most recently installed version. Prune ignores
slots, if you require a slot-aware Prune use emerge --clean.
Prune may inadvertently remove important packages from your
system. Use --clean instead unless you really know what
you're doing.

No. In particular the toolchain. GNOME and X work quite happily without
slotted packages in general.
