You did.
You had it in world, remember. At some point you did something like this:
emerge poppler-bindings
So, it went in world, portage continued to emerge it to the latest and
greatest newest version every time you ran emerge -avuND world. Eventually all
consumers of the library were removed and you were left with an unused package
in world.
Incidentally, poppler has a long and fine history of insanely breaking users'
configs every time its developers sneeze. The number of times I've had poppler
show up in revdep-rebuild output defies any kind of sane, logical, rational
description. Not even Microsoft can breaks so many things so often, and that's
saying something...
