   No, you didn't do anything wrong, it's just the Gentoo KDE team who   
   decided to not support the monolithic KDE build anymore and forced   
   everyone to switch to the "modular" one (which take a lot longer time to   
   compile as many packages uses the same tarball, so unpacking it many   
   times). IMHO it was a bad idea, they could have skiped the modular way for   
   KDE3 and introduced it with KDE4.
