emerge with -g -u flags..
Thinking to use only binary packages and get away from massive
compiling I ran:

emerge -g -u kde

I've been watching the compile for 10 minutes already.
(This was a very basic newly installed system)

Rereading man emerge it appears those commands should have pulled down
and installed binary packages.

The man page clearly says that -g implies -k.

What am I not understanding here? I'd like to get a system up without
all the unnecessary waste of time in compiling every last jot an
tittle.
