emerge --help
will tell you:-
--usepkg (-k short option)
Tell emerge to use binary packages (from $PKGDIR) if they are
available, thus possibly avoiding some time-consuming compiles.
This option is useful for CD installs; you can export
PKGDIR=/mnt/cdrom/packages and then use this option to have
emerge "pull" binary packages from the CD in order to satisfy
dependencies.
--usepkgonly (-K short option)
Like --usepkg above, except this only allows the use of binary
packages, and it will abort the emerge if the package is not
available at the time of dependency calculation.
