Mark,

Can you start anything that isn't KDE-related?
Like xclock, xterm,...?

That way we can check if the problem is SSH/X  related or KDE-related.

You could also try starting a VNC-session to see if that would allow you to 
start programs.

Is "dbus" actually running? And is it included in the USE-flags?
Also, later KDE versions require policykit/consolekit, 

Consolekit has a service as well that needs to be running.
