When using the ROOT= variable emerge follows the RDEPEND's if you don't 
have the DEPEND's installed on the host / system. If they are not 
installed on the host / system then the direct DEPEND's will be 
installed to $ROOT. This is the expected behavior.

I find myself using ROOT=/somedir emerge -pvKe system when I need 
a full seed stage. you may also want to maybe check out the 
--deep/-D option.
