I usually do this, equery depends <package name>.  If it shows something 
depends on it, don't remove it.  Some things you do not want to remove 
without making sure it is safe, python, emerge itself, gcc, glibc, 
baselayout and anything with 'make' or 'conf' in the name.  Example, 
automake would be one to keep.

If you do really bork something, it is usually fixable.  It may not be 
easy but most things can be fixed.

If you still unsure, post here with the output of equery list <package 
name> and equery depends <package name>.
