You are doing something wrong, as that exact same config works here. Do you 
have the kde-testing overlay installed? Did you emerge @kde-4.2 or emerge 
@kde? The latter will give you you the latest unstable snapshots which may or 
may not work. Use these links, etc:

alan@nazgul ~ $ ls -al /etc/portage/package.keywords/kde*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 85 Feb 11 17:15 /etc/portage/package.keywords/kde-4.2 -
> /var/portage/local/layman/kde-
testing/Documentation/package.keywords/kde-4.2.keywords
alan@nazgul ~ $ ls -al /etc/portage/package.unmask/kde*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 76 Feb 26 09:46 /etc/portage/package.unmask/kde-4.2 -> 
/var/portage/local/layman/kde-testing/Documentation/package.unmask/kde-4.2.0

Then copy the set file from $PORTDIR/local/layman/kde-testing/sets/kde-4.2 to 
/etc/portage/sets, then run

emerge -av @kde-4.2

If you don't have the overlay installed, I can send you then files as 
attachments if you want.
