Yes, cleanup is easy with Gentoo.  After an emerge, if there are any
preserved libraries portage issues a warning and recommends running emerge
@preserved-rebuild, which rebuilds any packages still using the preserved
libraries.  Preserved libraries are automatically removed when no packages
are using them.
