The output that most helps resolve this is emerge world with the -t
option. It lets you see in a tree everything that pulls in unwanted
packages (but it's very verbose).

You might have a very few KDE misc packages in world that depend on
earlier versions and haven't been updated yet.

Also useful is to grep for kde and the in the world file and see what
you have explicitly listed there.
