I was thinking about NOT doing the emerge -u world part.  That would
skip updating everything that has updates applied on your system.  Doing
just a emerge -u procmail would only update procmail and the
dependencies if any are needed. 

Keep in mind, you can upgrade packages as needed without updating the
whole system.  I wouldn't recommend this long term tho.  Those upgrades
can add up pretty quick and come back to bite you later.  Going longer
than a month or two on a Gentoo system without a update is not
recommended.
