kde-base/kde is a meta package, it pulls in all the monolithic KDE
builds. If you are concerned about installation compile times, you should
not be trying to build the whole of KDE. Do you really need all of
kdegames, kdeedu and kdetoys to get your system running? Stick with
kde-base/kdebase or kde-base/kdebase-meta, you can cancel your current
emerge and merge one of these instead, then add the rest of what you want
once the system is running.
