You're mixing split with monolithic kde ebuilds. Please read http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kde-split-ebuilds.xml In case that block is caused by a wrong dep on an ebuild from an overlay, you need to submit your emerge --info and the output of emerge -pv beryl to the overlay's bug tracking. You can ask for help in #gentoo or #gentoo-kde about this issue.
Feel free to re-open if you have no overlay and this is caused be a wrong dep on an ebuild on the portage tree. If you do so, please provide the info requested on the previous comment.
