Because we hadn't already added the blocking DEPEND in the kde-meta.eclass. I 
think it's quite easy to implement.
I think that in these beta stage there are more important things before, and 
for testing we needed to keep also the official installed, so after 
installing all the splitted ones, we checked that removing the official 
doesn't left out any file.
But I have also to admit that the real testing should be done with the 
official kde uninstalled (I've already did it on x86 and a my friend on a 
sparc) also if I haven't found any difference (except for some headers in 
koffice-libs).
