kde-base/kdelibs-3.3.0_alpha1 is hardmasked in /usr/portage/profile/package.mask. Are you sure you don't have an entry like "kde-base/kdelibs" in /etc/portage/package.unmask?
Looks like someone (caleb?) forgot to mask kdetoys along with the rest of the 3.3.0_alpha1 packages.
oops .. I am look at the wrong one. It look like he fixed http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/profiles/package.mask?r1=1.2875&r2=1.2876
well. this looks like it's just kdetoys not being masked in the /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask after I added it there, I was able to emerge world -uDp and I'll look to see if this is a dupe again... nothing but this under kdetoys and nothing relevant under kdelibs... and somebody else confirmed this over IRC.. but you have to do that I guess..
should be fixed now - somehow my committal of that one didn't go through the first time.
