Another 'RTFM' message, thanks.

I'll answer my own question, including detail which may be useful to
other users:

emerge PyQt with USE=webkit sql

I had installed a few kde-meta packages rather than the full kde-meta.

eix -I kde | grep meta      list your installed kde-meta packages

Add the kde4 versions of those meta packages to package.mask:

(Sample) package.mask to mask kde4:

=kde-base/kdeaddons-meta-4*
=kde-base/kdeadmin-meta-4*
=kde-base/kdeartwork-meta-4*
=kde-base/kdebase-meta-4*
=kde-base/kdemultimedia-meta-4*
=kde-base/kdeutils-meta-4*
# Mask non-meta kde installed package:
=kde-base/kdenetwork-filesharing-4*
# Requires kdelibs-4, mask
=media-video/kmplayer-0.11*
# Required by kde4, requires mysql by default.
