Thank you everyone!

I have now discovered that my problem was that I still had some monolithic kde 
packages hanging around alongside the metapackages (e.g. kdeedu instead of 
kdeedu-meta).  I think I'd been unmerging them one at a time and didn't get 
around to finishing the job.  Now that I have done so emerge -u world seems 
to be catching the kde updates the way it should.
