I'm not a KDE person; but if I'm not mistaken, that tells Portage to use
binary diffs (xdeltas) against the source tarballs themselves. So, for

program and installing version 3.4.2 of that program would not require
downloading an entire 3.4.2 source tarball but a patch against the 3.4.1
source tarball that you have in your distfiles directory.
