'emerge -p --depclean'  Two dashes before depclean

Notice the warning that comes up right after you type that in.  Be VERY 
careful.  If for some crazy reason it uninstalls something critical, 
like python, then emerge may not work or worse yet, you could just crash 
and burn.  I suggest looking at the list and making sure anything listed 
can be removed and doing so manually.

Also, run 'revdep-rebuild -i' after words just to be sure.
