Thank you all for persisting with me.  :-)

I'm afraid the -semantic-desktop USE flag did not cut it.  So, I
emerged dev-libs/soprano with -java +redland and all seems good.

A few more things that look odd are:

[ebuild  N    ] net-libs/libvncserver-0.9.1  USE="jpeg zlib -no24bpp
-nobackchannel" 1,036 kB [0]
[ebuild  N    ] sys-boot/lilo-22.8-r2  USE="-device-mapper -minimal
-pxeserial -static" 431 kB [0]
[ebuild  N    ] dev-games/libggz-0.0.14.1  USE="-debug -gnutls" 467 kB [0]
[ebuild  N    ] dev-games/ggz-client-libs-0.0.14.1  USE="-debug" 600 kB [0]

I don't really need a vnc server on this machine.  I also don't need
games and I prefer GRUB to LILO.  So why is KDE4 springing all these
goodies onto me?

How should I tell it not to?
