The kde-meta ebuild should cover all of the split ebuilds.  If you read that you will discover that it depends on other meta packages.  Read the ebuilds of those meta packages to find out what they depend on, and so on.

$ equery which kde-meta
/usr/portage/kde-base/kde-meta/kde-meta-3.4.2.ebuild

Unfortunately, equery depgraph does not seem to be very helpful for this type of query.
