There doesn't appear to be a package named ogg-vorbis on my system, or
in portage:

http://packages.gentoo.org/search/?sstring=ogg-vorbis

So it makes your question a little difficult to answer.

However you can tarce dependencies by use of the --tree or -t switch for
emerge:

emerge -pvt ogg-vorbis

might tell you what is dragging in cups. (well it would if there were
such a package). Then you can read the ebuild of the package that is
dependent on cups top find out why.

USE flags are inherited from a number of places, all cumulative, with
make.conf only being your preferences. Your profile governs what is
added before make.conf adds its bits.
