See the thread form a couple of hours ago, but one easy way is |

|

emerge -Ca $(ls /var/db/pkg/kde-base) |

I think you have misunderstood the purpose of the meta packages. They are |
| 16 |
simply empty packages that depend on various other packages. The old kde |
| 17 |
package was a meta-package that depended on the various monolithic |
| 18 |
builds, now there is a meta-package to replace each of the monolithic |
| 19 |
builds that depends on the split packages. kde-meta depend on all the |
| 20 |
split ebuilds. |

The meta-packages won't be going away, they are even more important with |
| 25 |
the split ebuilds. they aren't exclusive to KDE either; gnome, |
| 26 |
gnome-light and xorg-x11-7* are all meta packages. |
