I don't know if it would update, but it doesn't show so with the --ask
option. Here is my output

emerge --keep-going -j4 -1k --ask --update --deep @system @world

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

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


Thanks for your help.

And to Dale,

it's no problem to install KDE-4.3.1 on my hardware (I've done so on a
different machine from scratch). It's just that emerge --update doesn't
like to update.
