Gentoo's world only contains packages you have installed manually (emerge
package). and without -1 option. Would does not contains packages that have
been installed as dependencies to other packages.
You could view /var/lib/portage/world to see what it contains.

If you really need vigra, it is a good idea to add it to world file: emerge
--noreplace vigra
Howewer, I don't recommend add any dependencies which you are no using
directly to world. It would make --depclean useless.
