You're aware that the dependency graph won't get smaller if you do that, 
right? And make basically has to build the graph before it can start 
building, so you get a _huge_ delay between typing make and getting
"nothing to be done". Leave alone that your disc cache will easily flood
if you build _all_ of KDE at once.

So while it's surely technically possible, I don't consider it of practical 
use.
