Did you check /etc/portage/package.use? Afaik, USE flags listed there are not listed by emerge info, and that's the only other thing I can think of; emacs must have been installed as a explicit dependency of a particular system package (or sub-dependency of such). You could also explicitly set "-emacs" in /etc/make.conf and see what changes in an emerge -uaDNtv world (or system), which would not only tell you why emacs is involved in this (I, for example, don't have it at all, and I suppose our systems are basically similar), as well as orphaning the dependency, so you could clean it out safely with a depclean (or normally, without the warning).
