As far as I know, portage will add the package if it is on the
command-line, even if it is installed. I just tried it:

$ grep view /var/lib/portage/world ; echo $?
1
# emerge -avO libview

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

[ebuild   R   ] x11-libs/libview-0.6.1  USE="-debug" 0 kB

Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB
....

$ grep view /var/lib/portage/world ; echo $?
x11-libs/libview
0
