That would be the problem.  I knew it was just me missing something.  
This is better:

root@fireball / # emerge -av k3b

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  N    ] x11-libs/qt-multimedia-4.7.1  USE="exceptions iconv 
(-aqua) -debug -pch" 206,806 kB
[ebuild  N    ] app-cdr/k3b-2.0.2-r1  USE="dvd encode ffmpeg flac mad 
vcd vorbis wav (-aqua) -debug -emovix -hal (-kdeenablefinal) -lame 
-musepack -musicbrainz -sndfile -sox -taglib" LINGUAS="-ast -be -bg -ca

-oc -pa -pl -pt -pt_BR -ro -ru -se -sk -sl -sv -th -tr -uk -zh_CN 
-zh_TW" 0 kB

Total: 2 packages (2 new), Size of downloads: 206,806 kB

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]

I wasn't clear enough.  I removed the 4.7 versions of qt, installed the 
4.6 versions then tried to login to KDE.  It doesn't like the old 
version and I figured it wouldn't but tried anyway.

Glad to get this sorted out.  Whew !!

Thanks.
