There is situations where users load a larger amount of packages on the system, and are in need to either reinstall, change the architecture ( from x86 to x86_64 ) or simply "clone" the system..
Does pacman maintain such file and if yes, is it possible to re-use it to do pacman -Syu on a minimal arch installation to install all missing packages and their dependencies?
If I need to reinstall/upgrade/clone etc. a gentoo system I am usually moving the world file, customizing it and starting a 1-2 day compile / fix process

thank you bohoomil, this is what I was looking for.... I will test it soon....
I found one thing a bit "funny" ( on the pacman tips wilki page ) - if there is a "foreign" package, pacman will need some goood steroids to complete the install process:
pacman -S --needed $(diff <(cat badpkglist|sort) <(diff <(cat badpkglist|sort) <(pacman -Slq|sort)|grep \<|cut -f2 -d' ')|grep \<|cut -f2 -d' ')
on a "clean" gentoo emerge world did the trick
Anyway, This is what I was looking for - Thank you bohoomil!
