I run a stable (no ~x86) and have never had a trouble with kde. Or odd
gnome related stuff (like evolution). What is in your USE list? I doubt
it is the length of it. Maybe some things are incompatible? I have never
heard of such a thing. But I have never had cause to go looking.

Unless you have been mixing ~x86 with non-~x86 builds, I do not see how
a dependency can be missing. If you are new to Gentoo, and you do not
know the packages effected, mixing ~x86 in some of the ebuilds is
documented to not be a good activity. I use it only very occasionally,
and only when I have no choice.

My more preferred method is to make a copy of the desired package's
ebuild script in a local ebuild directory tree (which emerge supports)
and remove the ~ from the x86, and then see if it will build with what I
have installed, all without the ~x86. Many times it will. Most often,
the ~x86 is only for the target package itself, not the dependencies.
This way I do not screw up the libraries on my system for no good
reason.
