without -N or -t, portage considers just the list of packages on the
command line.
-N is newuse, portage also considers packages whose USE has changed.
-t is emptytree, portage also considers the entire tree and -u tells it
to not remerge things that don't need updating.
The input set for those commands differs, so the output set might also
be different. Those two commands you ran are not guaranteed to produce
the same results (although the often will).
