The big difference between the last command in my previous response to this 
thread and an eix command like:

# eix -nI --format '<category>()/<name>()' | \
    grep -v '^$\|^Found\ [0-9]*\|^\[[0-9]*\]'

is that the eix command will include all installed packages (including those 
that would show up if you run emerge --depclean -p) whereas the emerge 
command will only show packages that are either in world or a dependency of a 
package in world (direct or indirect). --with-bdeps (see `man emerge`) also 
affects the emerge package list.
