You could probably not use any USE flags and just install applications to do 
the things you need, mysql, apache, kde, kmplayer, etc. If you think you need 
some extra functionality from a specific program, you then should add it. No 
one but you will know what you need to add. You can also change your USE 
flags around later and re-install something if you need to.

I would do something like this to see what you think you might need

emerge -vp kde kmplayer xmms apache mysql k3b (etc etc)

This will give you all of the USE flags available for each program and which 
are included by default with the package. Then set them accordingly and rerun 
the emerge without the p option.
