   Much depends on what you are emerging, say   
      
   emerge postfix   
      
   in this case, to not install postfix is to not run the emerge.   
   In case you are trying to install something that would be depending on   
   postfix, then you would have to not install the program.   
      
   Sometimes there can be a use flag that would try to install a package, in that   
   case you need to disable the use flag in your make.conf or your packages.use.   
      
   As far as I know, the last two won't affect postfix.
