I suppose you got the idea by now ;-)  Do you need dev-lang/R?  If not, 
then "emerge -pv --depclean dev-lang/R".  Do you need the package(s) 
that this brings up?  If not, continue --depclean those until you reach 
something that has no other dependencies; meaning you reached the top 
level.  Do you need *that*?  If not, unmerge it, then depclean 
everything (just "emerge -a --depclean".)

This should get rid of all stuff you don't actually need/want.

GCC is a compiler collection.  You usually only need gcc and g++. 
Fortan, Objective-C, Objective-C++, ADA, Pascal, Java, whatever else is 
usually something you don't install unless you know you need it.
