No. The kde4 "meta-package" is just a set of dependencies to get the other parts installed easily. Uninstalling a package doesn't automatically remove depended-on packages. You can uninstall *all* packages that were pulled in automatically via a dependency that are no longer needed by another package with "pkg_delete -a". But this might remove more than you want; maybe a package was only installed as a dependency but now you do actually want to use it; in that case the simplest option is to review the output from pkg_delete -a and re-install manually as needed.
