No. -e is intended to rebuild *eveything*, not "everything except something". You need to take the long way round and find everything in /var/db/pkg, compile a list of everything there, remove the ones to be excluded and redirect the whole list to emerge. It might even fit on one command line. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
