Just how would portage know that an old slot is no longer needed? Just because
a newer version is installed doesn't mean it's been compiled or that the old
is no longer needed (you might need to compile some package against the old
that fails to compile against the new)...

For the more general case slot deps aren't allowed in the tree yet so it's not
all that easy to figure out which slots are in use. You do risk breaking your
system by pruning the wrong package..

Ok, yes, slot deps sounds like what I'm after here.  Is there a
portage command I can run to see which packages are installed in more
than one slot?  I'm having disk space problems on my laptop.
