You change your profile.  You can see your current profile with:

   eselect profile list

For KDE you would use "default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/kde" and for 
Gnome "default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/gnome".

For anything else, use "default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop".  Then do a:

   emerge -auDN --with-bdeps=y world
   emerge -a --depclean

If KDE/Gnome stuff still remains after that, use:

   emerge -pv --depclean <package>

to see what's pulling-in <package>.
