FWIW:
"However, packages which are included in the system target, or are
dependencies of system target packages, should generally include a
complete dependency list (excluding bootstrap packages). This makes
emerge -e system possible when installing from a stage 1 or stage 2
tarball."
From the last paragraph on implicit dependencies in the devmanual at:
http://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/dependencies/index.html

I suppose all packages in /usr/portage/profiles/base/packages are
suitable candidates. And maybe profile-specific implicit dependencies
on profile-specific packages too, but those would be more complicated
to locate.
