When you install "kde" or "kde-meta" it pulls the whole K Desktop Environment, including the IM program (kopete) and Kwallet and all that as dependencies (some will be left out depending on your useflags of course). If you unmerge kopete for example, the next merge of kde will pull it back in cause it is a dependency. Konqueror is needed by most KDE programs, it's a really integral part of kde, so unmerging it will break stuff. > How can I tell for > other packages?

You either have to live with installed applications you don't wanna use or you have to get rid of "kde" and just select the k-applications you actually want (they'll install what they need). Another way might be to build your own kde-light package that depends on fewer stuff.
