That would generate error messages. The best solution is to get rid
whatever is pulling in KDE. As for blocking stuff to pull in, to quote
Frank Sinatra, "I did it m-y-y-y-y-y way". I wrote a script,
/etc/portage/cleanup which generates /etc/portage/rsync_excludes on my
machines. Note that the groups listed are what I don't use. Your
machine(s) will probably have a different set of unnecessary stuff.
