You shouldn't have given the -u option when upgrading KDE, because now  
you got more packages upgraded than needed. -u (--update) upgrades all  
direct dependencies also (and --deep would upgrade the whole  
dependency tree).

I think you can safely let portage downgrade those packages to the  
normal state. If you like living on the edge and all is working well,  
you can just stay with your setup, and if you use the -U (-- 
upgradeonly) switch, emerge will not want to downgrade anything.  
That's what I would do in this case.

In case you downgrade and you have buildpkg in your FEATURES list in  
/etc/make.conf, you might use the -k (--usepkg) option, this avoids  
the re-compilation.
