Portage uses dynamic dependencies from ebuild in original repository of given installed ebuild.
Name of repository is stored in /var/db/pkg/${CATEGORY}/${PF}/repository file.

> and b) how it can work both in the case you describe

A user would have to do:
# echo ${new_repository} > /var/db/pkg/${CATEGORY}/${PF}/repository
# touch /var/db/pkg/${CATEGORY}/${PF}
# touch /var/db/pkg/${CATEGORY}
# touch /var/db/pkg

(It is possible that updating of timestamps is not yet strictly required...)
