If you only install the meta-ebuilds, that's true... Perhaps I should 
have prefaced it with a 'YMMV', but if you have three DEs (or two and a 
WM) you tend to have a lot of complimentary apps installed to go with 
each, increasing your world-count.  That is, unless you make custom 
ebuilds ala gnome-medium :)

There was a smiley after my comment...

You coukld end up with less, because so much is included with the DE. I
douobt fvwm includes a web browser, file manager, three text editors, a
mailer, media player, CD ripper/encoder, two PDF viewers and the
kitchensync :)
