I use sets for this. I want KDE but not all of it, so I have a set
with just the -meta packages I want:
$ cat /etc/portage/sets/alan-kde
kde-base/kdeadmin-meta
kde-base/kdeartwork-meta
kde-base/kdebase-meta
kde-base/kdebase-runtime-meta
kde-base/kdegraphics-meta
kde-base/kdemultimedia-meta
kde-base/kdenetwork-meta
kde-base/kdepim-meta
kde-base/kdeutils-meta
