Always install some additional window managers for these cases :) So at

downgrading. FEATURES=usepkg is also useful and reduces build time. Or
back up your whole system before, this is what I do. In an emergency, I
can just go back in a short time.
Me, I'm waiting until they get it in the tree unless some people post
they can get it from a overlay and everything "just works".
KDE 4.5.1 just hit the kde overlay (including kdepimlibs-4.5.1, but other
kdepim stuff still is at 4.4), I'm starting to build as soon as my backup
has finished. I'll report my experiences when it's done. Could take a
while.
No idea why I do not get the blockers the OP has.

I do only have KDE on here. The bad thing is, I use kdm for my login
manager. Even that was broken. I had no GUI and no way to login to KDE
or anything else.
I do save binaries but a few of them got deleted. I guess eclean got a
little froggy or something. Some of the larger packages, qt, kdelibs,
etc, etc, had to rebuild from scratch. At least I didn't have to have
OOo rebuilt. o_O
Looking forward to seeing how your upgrade works out.
