You need an "emerge -a --depclean" after unmerging all -meta packages. 
But usually this won't work either since most people have normal KDE 
packages in their world file too.

The way I did it was to use the qlist tool from the gentoo-utils 
package.  First I got a list of KDE packages:

   qlist -Iv | grep -- kde

This will return a lot of packages.  I then copy&pasted all relevant KDE 
4.1 packages into an "emerge -C" command.  Then at the end I did the 
"emerge -a --depclean" and removed any left overs.
