Hello James,

 Yep, that is what I thought to but it fails. When I issue
 'emerge -vN kde-meta'
 
 I get a long list (as expected) follow by many of these error
 messages:
 
 
 !!! Error: circular dependencies:

That's usually because you've changed your USE flags substantially from
the default for the stage 3 install. Do an emerge -uavDN world to sort
things out. You don't need -N when emerging a package for the first time,
there are no existing USE flags to change.

 Where do I read about what all is in xorg-x11 versus xorg-server(which
 is all that kde-meta needs?)?  What exactly does kde-meta needs and

emerge kde-meta -pv should show you all that KDE needs.

 One more question. I remember some time ago somebody had a slick
 script or method to compile the apps listed in the world file,
 from an existing system to the new system,
 all together at once, rather that typing in all of those app
 names into one giant emerge command.

emerge -av $(cat /path/to/oldworld)
