They won't get installed. That's why I always do "emerge --deep --update" (or rather: "emerge -Duvat"), as then packages which are installed to meet dependencies, will also get updated. But you'll still miss some packages this way - packages which aren't in the world file and which are also no dependency of *CURRENTLY* installed packages. Those are normally packages, which aren't used anymore and could be removed. I forgot how to find out, which packages that are.
