Just installed gentoo and from the base install it took about a day to compile and install kde (including all it's dependencies like XFree86). This is on an Athlon 1.3
Noted with thanks
I did my first "emerge world -uv" (this updates *all* installed packages, as I understand it) last night. Here's what was available to update:
emerge world -uvp
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

I was curious how long it would take, so I used the "time" command to time it for me. It took 361 minutes (just about 6 hours on the nose).
