On Gentoo is there a way to find a list of installed packages which doesn't have other packages depended on them?

On Gentoo, is there a way to find a list of installed packages which doesn't have other packages depended on them (so called leaf packages)? Or, is there analog of pkg-orphan FreeBSD utility?

That's what emerge --pretend --depclean does. It looks for packages that are:
- not depended upon by other ebuilds, and
- neither in
worldnorsystemsets
It's a good idea to run emaint --check world to find (and later fix) potential problems with your world file before a depclean.

When you put stuff in world, it means "I depend on this". I.e. you are the dependency. Remove the packages that you don't explicitly need from your world file. When you emerge things you don't explicitly need, use the--oneshotoption.

These packages are installed by puppet recipe so using--oneshotwill require modifying puppet sources, and I need these packages included in world file in production anyway so they won't be removed by regulardepclean(these packages are dependencies of large web application which is not properly packaged yet). But right now I need to clean these packages from test system and removing these packages by hand from world file (or from system) is exactly task which I'm trying to avoid.

You can't have it both ways - tell the system they are required, then ask it for them to be cleaned up automatically. You need to track what you're doing. Sets will help a bit, but as you said in another comment it's not bullet-proof. You could also simply record all your emerge actions (with a simple wrapper) and use that to backtrack your changes.

If you want to see what packages in the @world set are not also dependencies of other installed packages, you can run emerge --pretend --depclean @world (or emerge -pc @world). Also note that if you try to remove a package using emerge --depclean atom (instead of emerge --unmerge atom), portage will only remove the package if nothing else depends on it.
