They are dependencies of packages in your world file (world includes system). The only packages in world are those you specified on the command line. Example: "emerge pysol" would emerge pysol and it's dependencies, like pysol-sound-server. Only pysol will actually be in the world file. "emerge -p --emptytree world" may show you all the packages, but you'll want to pipe it to a pager, cause it'll be a long list. > 3.
