From the man page of emerge:
Code:
       /var/cache/edb/world
              Contains a list of all user-specified packages.  You can  safely
              edit  this  file, adding packages that you want to be considered
              in world class updates and removing those that you do  not  want
              to be considered.

Of course, if one of the packages showing up is a dependency for another package you do wish to update, it's going to show up anyway. Good luck!
