The monolithic ones install larger parts of KDE, and usually have the same
names as the original source packages offered at KDE.org.
The split ebuilds, well, split those packages into their individual
applications, so you have ebuilds for konqueror (which is also part of
kdenetwork) or kmail (kdepim). In addition, there are the "-meta" ebuilds,
which have the same name as the monolitic ones, but with -meta appended
(kdepim-meta). Those usually install the same applications than monolithic
ebuilds, but as split ebuilds.
So, when you install kde, you get a complete KDE from monolithic ebuilds and
when you install kde-meta, you get a complete KDE from split ebuilds.
That's also the reason why they block each other. When you have kdepim
installed, you already got kmail, so you shouldn't install kmail from the
split ebuild again.
