On closer inspection this looks more like bug #154919 [1].

I wrongly assumed you were already on 2.1.2 despite that I really do know
better.. ;) Yes, --with-bdeps is a feature that has been added in 2.1.2,
however, you really don't need it here. Explanation follows..

You can stick with stable for now.

Bug #4698 is a long standing bug which is fixed in 2.1.2 and causing portage
only to consider the highest slot of any given installed package when
upgrading world. So since you have kde{libs,su}-3.5.x installed portage <
2.1.2 doesn't notice that you have an older slot which is no longer in the
tree. The new --depclean algorithm in 2.1.1, however, does notice as you see
above. So the solution is to prune kdelibs and kdesu...
