I went on to say that unless you added the KDE packages to package.keywords, you could expect a lot of other packages to want to downgrade next emerge -u world. You mentioned that you didn't want to waste time writing to package.keywords, but were unwilling to accept advice that would save you a lot more time down the road. If you read other comments in this thread and others, (pay attention to a few of my recent threads) you'll find commands and scripts to automate appending the KDE-3.5.0 packages and thier dependancies to /etc/portage/package.keywords. It would seem to me that time is not your issue here, but rather stubbornness.
