Yes & in fact, as I now see, I already have that version installed.
Apparently,  kdelibs:3.5  wants the -r1 version instead.

That's not in the Gentoo tree anymore, so that's impossible.

That's hardly worth it just to restore  1  game &  1  useful toy !

Clearly enough, the Sunset version of KDE is terminally dead

There is a Trinity doc with detailed advice how to go about that,
so when I have time to spare, I may have a go at it.
