layman -a kdesvn-portage
linking the files in Documentation to /etc/portage/package.keywords/ and 
.unmask/

pmerge kde-meta-4.1.0

works great one ebuild or so from over 200 did not work (kfloppy which I don't 
need anyway) --ignore-failures (with pkgcore) or keep-going (portage) are your 
friends.

kde 4.1 works very well. There is a kwin crash on logout - but that is easy to 
deal with - click away the info box and logout/shutdown proceeds.

There is only one annoying bug: 
kmail/konqueror/kopete/kio_http/kio_pop3/kwallet aren't really quit if you 
close their window and accumulate over time. The bug is already reported. It 
does not hurt much - once in a while a killall is needed. Maybe a kde4.1 bug 
or a glibc bug - I don't know.
