Finding out names of Groups

Hi,
Is there a way to research what groups various packages belong to?  For example what Groups are required to download all of the new KDE4?  Are programs like ktorrent part of a group?

Also, if I attempt to install k3b it starts to download what looks like some kde3 software. Is this meant to happen?

Thanks

'pacman -Sg' will search groups, '-Qi' will give you info on already installed packages and tell you what group they belong to, if any.

Is that an honest suggestion? Because with that attitude, that is exactly what I would do.
