Thanks for the suggestion. I get the feeling we're all hacking our own
install semantics here for kde-4.2.

I find the -meta packages very helpful. Instead of pulling in all of KDE (with tons of stuff I don't need), I simply emerged those:

  kde-base/ark
  kde-base/kate
  kde-base/kcalc
  kde-base/kdeartwork-meta
  kde-base/kdebase-meta
  kde-base/kdegraphics-meta
  kde-base/kdeplasma-addons
  kde-base/kget

Emerging the *whole* of KDE is, I think, something no one needs :P Just go with the basic stuff, and then emerge additional applications later. You don't even need to make up your own sets or -metas. Your patience will thank you later when the need arises to rebuild everything (when KDE 4.2.2 arrives, for example).
