Sure they would. In the eclass, do something like (untested, buggy,
just a vague proof of concept not real code):

s=
for s_p in ${KDE_NEEDS_PACKAGES} ; do
    s_s=
    for s_v in 3.3 3.4 4.0 ; do
        [[ -z ${KDE_MIN_VER} ]] || version_is_at_least ${KDE_MIN_VER}
s_v || continue
        s_s="${s_s} ${s_p}:${s_v}"
    done
    DEPEND="${DEPEND} || ( ${s_s} )"
done

Nnnope. If you modify an eclass it forces a cache regen for packages
using said eclass (except possibly if you're using an overlay, but
that's a separate issue...).
