Replying to my own message: when I tried this out, because I had emerged -up
world recently, I had to use the --deep parameter to get any output. And
WHAT a long list it was, too - my USE flags have definitely changed since I
had the system installed, and now it wanted to install Xfree. Why..?
I tracked it down to GhostScript. Check this out:

Can anyone explain this, please..? I would have expected `USE=-cups emerge
ghostscript` not to install CUPS at all.

Are you sure it's ghostscript? I get the expected behaviour:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] .../portage/app-text/ghostscript> emerge -pv ./ghostscript-7.05.6.ebuild
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
[ebuild N ] media-gfx/gimp-1.2.4 +python +nls -gnome -aalib +perl -doc +jpeg +png +tiff -doc [ebuild N ] media-gfx/gimp-print-4.2.5 +cups -doc +nls [ebuild U ] app-text/ghostscript-7.05.6 [7.05.5] -X +cups -cj
It's gimp that starts it off.
It doesn't want libglade, because you (correctly) have the gnome USE flag unset, but if you set that flag, it will require gnome-libs and other gnome related packages, and eventually libglade.
