This is pretty much the sanest way of doing this I think.  Just remove
all kde-base stuff from world, use --depclean --pretend to see what
wants to be removed, and add things back in with the --noreplace
option.

The only thing I would caution on are the artsplugin-foo packages,
particularly artsplugin-xine, artsplugin-audiofile, and
artsplugin-akode.  Removing these can have some strange effects on
kde, like refusing to play certain media files.
