How to remove KDE 4

I managed to install KDE3 from sunset overlay. Now I would like to remove stupid monster KDE 4.6.5. It was installed using portage. How is it possible to uninstall it? `emerge -C =kde-base/kde-meta-4.6.5` removes only kde-meta itself and no dependencies. Is there a way to remove dependencies like dolphin as well automatically?

You can get the list of these packages with:
> ls /var/db/pkg/kde-base | grep 4.6.5 > kde4list, or
> qlist -ICS kde-base | grep 4 | sed -e "s/\s4/:4/" > kde4list,
then you can use it in a bash command:
> emerge -aC $(cat kde4list)
