How do I replace kdemod with the regular qt stuff?

Hi!
I installed kdemod years ago because I wanted to know what all the talking about it was about. Well I don't actually use kde as my de, I just run a few applications such as kaffeine or k3b.
Now that polkit-qt creates a dependancy issue (it now requires qt from extra and not any qt version) I figured it would be about time to finally kick kdemod off my computer and only install the applications that I want.
But how do I do that? 'pacman -Rs kdemod' fails because quite a few packages (such as k3b,google-earth, smplayer, teamspeak, ....... but also a couple libs that I don't know) require different kdelibs that are currently satisfied by kdemod.
'pacman -Rcs kdemod' does not fail but attempts to remove a lot more libraries and I'm not sure if I want all of them to be removed.
'pacman -Rds kdemod' would remove the packages but would probably not remove dependancies that kdemod pulled in from the arch extra/community repos, right?

So how do I remove kdemod and everything kdemod pulled in as a dependancy?

Have you tried pacman -Rds kdemod $(pacman -Qdtq)
