You've always been able to pick and choose individual KDE applications without installing all of KDE, although in KDE 4 we did recommend also installing one of the smaller meta packages (eg. kde-apps/kdebase-runtime-meta) to ensure everything worked correctly. You can identify KF5/Qt5-based applications based on their slot. Something like eix kde-apps/ --slot 5 should give the full list of what's available so far.
