Those binary packages are supplied by upstream, it's not the same as the
Gentoo devs providing compiled packages, although they do in the GRP
collections.
It's no big deal upgrading KDE anyway. Set PORTAGE_NICENESS to a suitable
value and you can keep using the computer while the new KDE is compiled
in the background. KDE is slotted, so installing 3.5 has no effect on the
3.4.x version you are currently using.
