Rebuilding is not necessary. What would probably be a better strategy than
an --emptytree is the following:
find /var/db/pkg -mindepth 3 -maxdepth 3 -name "*.ebuild" -exec egrep -H \
"^KEYWORDS" {} \; |egrep -v "[^-]amd64"
This will find you all ebuilds that do not have any amd64 keywords. You
should try to merge newer versions to see whether the new version is
supported. If not, they are likely not to work. If the outputted keywords
include -amd64 they WILL not work. If they do work and are not marked for
amd64 then you might consider to report them.

ps. Please remember, keywords do not change packages or the build process.
They are only used to determine whether the package should be provided on
that architecture/testing level.
