However, it is also possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be installed simultaneously. You may want to try a larger value of the --backtrack option, such as --backtrack=30, in order to see if that will solve this conflict automatically.

You have some unstable KDE packages unmasked, so you need to remove that from package.keywords or add the other unstable dependencies.
the ~amd64 package should be immaterial as I'm not using the --update option. Strictly --newuse due to a changed global flag. If --newuse implies the --update option, then it needs to be stated in the man page --newuse (-N) Tells emerge to include installed pack- ages where USE flags have changed since compilation. This option also implies the --selective option. USE flag changes include: A USE flag was added to a package. A USE flag was removed from a package. A USE flag was turned on for a package. A USE flag was turned off for a package. USE flags may be toggled by your profile as well as your USE and package.use set- tings. If you would like to skip rebuilds for which disabled flags have been added to or removed from IUSE, see the related --changed-use option. If you would like to skip rebuilds for specific packages, see the --exclude option. Based on this, I see no reason that the --update option is being tripped and the one ~amd64 kde package does not include the global flag that was changed -semantic-desktop so it's an immaterial issue unless portage is borked.

It implies --selective, just like --update does; I think you need to pass --newuse --selective=n if want to rebuild the same version instead of the selected version.
