They won't get installed. That's why I always do "emerge --deep --update"
(or rather: "emerge -Duvat"), as then packages which are installed to
meet dependencies, will also get updated.

But you'll still miss some packages this way - packages which aren't
in the world file and which are also no dependency of *CURRENTLY* installed
packages. Those are normally packages, which aren't used anymore and
could be removed. I forgot how to find out, which packages that are.
