When I do emerge for xfree and kde, should I do:
# emerge kde-base/kde
# emerge x11-base/xfree
or I should emerge a particular release of the softwares? I don't want to load my system with those I don't use. 
Note: This question may have been asked and answered, if so, please point me the link. Not sure how to search for it.

# emerge kde-base/kde would force you to automatically emerge xfree too, because kde depends on it.

Did you read the Desktop and Portage User guides? There is pretty well explained for example what happens if you emerge kde.
Portage User Guide will tell you how USE flags affect emerge.
check also out this thread, there is some discussion about USE flags and how to get rid of "those you don't use"

Sorry. I meant that there are many releases of xfree, should I just emerge the one I like such as # emerge x11-base/xfree/xfree-4.1.0-r12? or it will make no different if I use x11-base/xfree?

It'll emerge the lastest version not masked (which is 4.1.0-r12 right now)

If you just say "emerge xfree", you will get the newest unmasked version, which is usually what you want. Do you have a specific reason for preferring a particular version of the ebuild?

No, rac. Last time in another machine, I did "emerge kde-base/kde", and it seemed I got both kde 3.0 and kde 2.2. I am not sure but it looked like that since the kde logon window showed the options for 3 kdes and one xwindow(twn).

Maybe some program depends on KDE 2.2 and that's why you have both instaled.

If you build you system from stage 1 (or 2) tarball, you would have to do the "emerge system". When you do that, xfree emerges too. So when you emerge kde it won't force anything. Building system from stage 3 tarball doesn't include the xfree. So when you emerge kde it will automatically emerge xfree for you too.
| Code: | | emerge x11-base/xfree/xfree-4.1.0-r12 |
won't work.
| Code: | | emerge x11-base/xfree/xfree-4.1.0-r12.ebuild |
or
should do it. (If you want to emerge xfree apart from kde.

will install the latest unmasked kde. After that when you emerge extra programs some of them may depend on kdebase 2.2 and kdelibs 2.2 (some cd-writing programs for kde do for example). And that's how old versions of kde may get to kdm.
