If I were to setup a KDE 3.5 environment, what packages aside from kde-base should I setup with the ~amd64 exception in my /etc/portage/package.keywords ?

I've been using a totally ~x86 for a long time and never had an issue. KDE
3.5 is working very well, I've not had a crash. I think the main thing
going to be pulled in by anything is kdelibs, which you'd have to allow to
be ~x86. Just make sure you run emerge -pv packages and it will tell you
exactly what it's going to need.
