Hi,
That's not the proper way to install old version of (slotted) package.
Use "emerge =dev-util/kdevelop-3.1.2 -av" to install the oldest
available.
#eix kdevelop
* dev-util/kdevelop
     Available versions:  3.1.2 3.2.1-r1 3.2.2 3.2.3 3.2.3-r1 3.3.0
3.3.1 3.3.2
     Installed:           none
     Homepage:            http://www.kdevelop.org
     Description:         Integrated Development Enviroment for Unix,
supporting KDE/Qt, C/C++ and a many other languages.
When running "emerge category/package" it only shows the major slot
version.
This will (probably) fetch some old QT,Kdelibs,KDEbase versions too.
Check 'man emerge'
