Let's see here.  Ignore packages with the -meta suffix, first off, since 
they're just
aggregators for other packages.  Secondly, since Portage's dependency 
identification
sometimes messes up in --keep-going runs, attempt to individually re-emerge
any package that didn't get far enough to produce a log.  Start with the 
kde-base packages:

Most of these packages are important to the basic functioning of KDE, and you 
need 
to get them merged if you want a functioning desktop.  Then look at the extras:

These packages are less important, and if you can live with the idea of using a
different (probably GTK-based) mailer and calendar application, you don't
absolutely need them.

For the remainder:

and for any packages on the other lists that still won't merge, use the
equery command to determine what the most recent KDE3 ebuild is:

# equery meta kcontrol
 * kde-base/kcontrol [gentoo]

and unmask it, then try to merge again.  If you don't have the equery command,
emerge gentoolkit.

The packages you absolutely need to get working are the ones I shortlisted as 
part
of kde-base, and kcontrol.  Most of the others can be worked around by 
substituting
other applications with the same functionality.  Note that kopete has at least 
one
broken plugin (I think it's jabber) that may not compile under any 
circumstances.

Oh, and incidentally,

No.

Good luck.
