I personally think that the following is sufficient:

# emerge -pv $(equery b /lib/modules | sed -e 's:^:>=:' )

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.9_rc2  -debug -doc +oss -pcmcia 0 
kB 
[ebuild   R   ] media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7174  -pcmcia 0 kB 
[ebuild   R   ] sys-fs/cdfs-2.6.3a  0 kB [1] 

Total size of downloads: 0 kB
Portage overlays:
 [1] /usr/portage-chutz
 [2] /usr/portage-maildir

I am not trying to shoot down your idea, but you could probably use
something similar to automatically generate the list of packages to
rebuild if the database is empty?
