You must have something badly wrong with your @system. kde-meta depends on:
RDEPEND="
$(add_kdebase_dep kate)
$(add_kdebase_dep kdeadmin-meta)
$(add_kdebase_dep kdeartwork-meta)
$(add_kdebase_dep kdebase-meta)
$(add_kdebase_dep kdeedu-meta)

accessibility? ( $(add_kdebase_dep kdeaccessibility-meta) )
nls? ( $(add_kdebase_dep kde-l10n) )
sdk? (

$(add_kdebase_dep kdesdk-meta)
$(add_kdebase_dep kdewebdev-meta)
)
semantic-desktop? ( || (

"
A few extra packages and a lot of other meta packages. "emerge -Cp" will
remove only that one package, it won;t even remove the deps.
