I am not clear on your particular use case(s). Plasma desktop is usually
installed by setting the appropriate make.profile:
$ eselect profile list

If you are looking for some minimalist desktop, a Plasma DE plus KDE
applications with hundred of dependencies is probably not what you want.
Also, I think Plasma DE and most DMs will pull in X11, because: a) they work
both with X11 and wayland; b) many X11 applications can only run in X using
XWayland. XWayland is an X Server running as a Wayland client to enable
displaying native X11 client applications within a Wayland compositor
environment. I haven't looked into it at any depth to see if you can strip a
heavy DE like Plasma from all xserver dependencies - I'd guess you can't.

OK, select the Plasma profile, then have a quick look at:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/KDE
You'll need to disable some USE flags of plasma-meta to avoid dragging in
things you may not need/require, like 'display-manager', 'sddm',
'accessibility', etc. Eventually, after you update @world, add any kde-apps
*-meta packages you need.
However, if you intend to use wayland for the most minimalist of purposes,
then you may want to consider something like Wayfire, instead of Plasma.
