That's not enough, powerdevil doesn't have a networkmanager USE flag, you
have to set -wireless for powerdevil. Here's the relevant portion of the
DEPEND definition in the ebuild

wireless? (
$(add_frameworks_dep bluez-qt)
$(add_frameworks_dep networkmanager-qt)
)

I've installed plasma-meta plus some kde-apps meta packages as follows:

kde-apps/kdeadmin-meta

kde-apps/kdepim-meta
kde-apps/kdeutils-meta
kde-apps/kwalletmanager
kde-frameworks/oxygen-icons
kde-plasma/plasma-meta

One of the above[1] brought in NetworkManager, which I don't use because for
my use case there's nothing wrong with openrc netifrc scripts.
[...]
[1] kde-plasma/plasma-meta requires kde-plasma/powerdevil, which requires kde-

requires net-misc/modemmanager


I use Plasma, and NW is not installed. I have "-networkmanager" in my 
USE flags in make.conf. Add that, and do a:


emerge -auDN --with-bdeps=y @world
emerge -a --depclean

You should then be able to install Plasma without NW.
