I tried a pretend emerge of khelpcenter. I had to unmask dbus and
allow a bunch of use flags before it would run. Here's what I ended up
with...
USE="accessibility kde dbus qt3support ssl handbook exceptions" emerge -pv khelpcenter
...which would've downloaded 33 packages totalling 220 megabytes. That
looks like it could be the culprit. I suggest cp /var/lib/portage/world
to your user directory, and go over it with a fine-tooth comb, and ask
yourself why you want each of those packages. If you want to see what
each package's dependancies are, execute...
emerge -pv --depclean > x.txt
...and then open up x.txt with an editor/viewer. Packages listed as
pulled in by "@selected" are in world. I have a script which will
generate a list of packages that can be unmerged relatively safely.
You have one heckuva lot of USE flags. I start my USE with "-*" and
add stuff as required. Often, I only add it to package.use.
