I thought that meant that the option was "auto-selected" for you (eg if
the default for this ebuild is -perl, but you have perl installed it
will change the default to +perl and put a * by it to warn you.
Unfortunately man emerge does not help !!
It used to be that if you had certain packages installed (e.g. perl)
that provided a USE flag and that flag wasn't explicitly mentioned in
your make.conf, it would automatically enable that flag for you. This
behaviour has been removed in the latest ~x86 portage and should be
filtering down to stable before long.
* beside a USE flag in emerge -p always means that the state of the flag
(enabled or disabled) has changed since the package was last installed.
The state seen in the emerge -p output is how the package *will* be
installed.
