As far as I understand it, the USE flags instruct emerge to either install
or not install certain components of appications. For instance, without
Mozilla in your USE flags it would install quite happily, but if you
expilcitly said not to install GTK components by a USE= -GTK then running
Galeon would prove very difficult.

Of course I could be completely wrong about that.
