Well, I noticed this on mine. I thought I had unmasked KDE 3.5 but after going and looking, I have not. I have portage-2.2_rc16 currently installed and it appears autounmask does not work well with it. This may at some point help the OP but can help me at the moment. How does one unmask ALL the KDE 3 packages but not the KDE 4 stuff? I ask that as in what command would list those to copy to packages.unmask or add them to it. I think whoever writes code for autounmask needs to get a gently nudge. It doesn't seem to like the latest portage. I'm not complaining and I know I am running unstable packages. Just thinking he may not know that his code just got borked. :-O I eagerly await the day one can keyword/unmask kde-meta and it automatically unmasks all its friends. I'm not sure how good that day will be but it is a thought. Dale :-) :-)
