Have you tried emerge --nodeps ?  That might do it.  What I'd try first 
would be merging the new kdepim-meta, then seeing if the old kpilot will 
build against it (using emerge --nodeps =kpilot-3.5.5).  If it will, 
great.

Otherwise, you may have to remerge the old kdepim-meta, use quickpkg (if 
you don't have binary packages built automatically with 
FEATURES=buildpkg) to binpkg-up the old kpilot, remerge the new kdepim-
meta, then emerge --nodeps --usepkgonly =kpilot-3.5.5.  That should merge 
it fine, since you are merging the binpkg version of it so there can't be 
any build issues, but it's somewhat of a crapshoot of whether it'll 
actually work or not, since it would be built against the old kdelibs and 
kdepim, not the new ones now merged that it'd be trying to run against.

HTH.  I don't have (nor do I really need) a handheld, so while I use KDE, 
I don't have kpilot installed at all and know little about it.  However, 
I'm a bit more familiar with portage, and have used the --nodeps switch 
myself on occasion, as well as regularly using my favorite power-user 
feature of portage, FEATURES=buildpkg, and the packages it builds as a 
result.
