No it's not. A world update affects only the packages you installed and
their dependencies.

Why does it need to update? Is your system not running correctly because
of this? I suspect you don't need vigra at all,that it was installed as a
dependency of a package you no longer have, or that no longer depends on
it. What does emerge --depclean -p show?
