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).

HTH,
