Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were referring to the kernel in terms of
ebuild dependencies.  Isn't your reason why "emerge --info" lists the
kernel?  (Also, the kernel probably isn't the best example, since I
suspect that if there's any single package that people are likely to
install outside of portage, the kernel would be it.)
