I have libfam0 installed, but not fam or portmap, for just this reason. libfam0 only recommends fam, so I think you should be okay if you run: apt-get remove portmap This will probably remove portmap and fam. KDE should still work. You might also like to install the 'harden' package. (see apt-cache show harden).
