That will result in the program being recompiled from scratch again.
emerge -n will add it to thew world file without recompilation if it is
already installed.

You can also do "echo category/package >>/var/lib/portage/world", which
is what i did before I discovered emerge -n, but using emerge seems more
portage-friendly and less likely to screw things up with a typo.
