Well, I decided to take the plunge and install KDE4 based on the directions at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/kde/kde4.xml.

The installation went well (with a re-install of qt4 due to a missing use flag) and it was on to restarting the system so I could start mucking with the new interface.  And that's where I hit a snag.

In the URL above, the directions say to change /etc/conf.d/xdm, the DISPLAYMANAGER variable to kdm-4.0.  Every time I tried that, I got just xdm instead as a login screen and then, after log in, got my same KDE3.5 desktop.  There are no other directions on this page, so now I don't know where to go from here.

What now?

you have to add the DYSPLAYMANAGER=kdm-4.0 to a file in /etc/env.d/ better the local environment file, then BE SURE to have installed the following: kdebase-startkde-4.0.x and kdebase-meta-4.0.x. after that remember to do an etc-update (or dispatch-conf or whatever utility you use for updating the /etc) and then do an env-update and a /etc/init.d/xdm restart. also you should look if xdm has been overwritten (it has to be since)  and if i remember well also /etc/conf.d/xdm.conf also has changed. then at kdm login screen select the session type and login. it should work. but e aware that if you're on xorg-server from git kde4 will most likely don't work.
