The good thing about the @preserved-rebuild system is that it keeps the old .so until all programs stop needing it. In other words, your system should continue to function properly and you don't need to be in a hurry to rebuild those packages that depend on jpeg-7. Once you fix your KDE problem and have emerge working normally again, then you can emerge @preserved-rebuild and get rid of dependencies on the old libjpeg.
