I recently emerged KDE-3.4.0 using the command

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge kde-meta

and so far so good, a few little errors such as juk crashing from time to
time and k3b not working, but nothing I can't live through at the moment.

The issue I now have is how can I apply any necessary updates to the other
packages on the system and not have KDE-3.4.0 cause issues?
At the moment if I do an emerge -uDpv world I can see it wanting to
downgrade a huge amount of packages whihc I obviously do not want to do.
I'm thinking that there must be some way of setting up
/usr/portage/package.unmask or similar to tell it that KDE-3.4.0
components and their depends should not be looked at when doing any
upgrade but despite reading up on Portage and emerge I cannot work out a
way to do this.
Can someone please give me some words of advice on how I might do this.

Thanks

Jamie
