emerge -avuND world

If that doesn't pull in the missing bits, you have USE flags and/or 
package.mask getting in the way.

equery depends might help, but it's only accurate for stuff you already have.
For more complex things, I usually read the ebuild and see what *DEPEND says

You'll have to find what -meta package[1] pulls in dolphin and usb viewer 
(grep ... *-meta/*ebuild) comes in handy here and then read those ebuilds to 
find themerge conditions.

kde-meta is merely a meta package for other meta packages...
