Thanks for the help!

I want to get rid of 3.5 because of incompatabilities with my mouse (through ksynaptics)
and themes. Ill probably install it again when 3.5.1 is out or something. :)

How about:

cd /var/db/pkg
for x in kde-base/*-3.5*; do
    emerge --unmerge $x
done

That will get the main packages.  Then you can do:

equery belongs `find /usr/kde/3.5 -type f | head -n 1`
emerge --unmerge <package name from above command>

The above will find one non-KDE (by which I mean not part of the KDE
3.5 release) and unmerge it.  Repeat the above commands until no more
files remain in /usr/kde/3.5.  You may want to keep a list of these
packages to re-merge with kde 3.4.

For the 3.4.1 KDE, don't worry about it, as the 3.4.3 packages will
overwrite them.  You cannot have both 3.4.1 and 3.4.3 installed at the
same time.

BTW, why do want to do this?  Why not just keep 3.5?
