The order in which you merge things is not important.
You can actually start by emerging kde (this will install X if it's not there yet).
Do read the docs, there's one specically designed for setting up a nice desktop environment.

There is no package named "gnu"

Try mozilla-firefox instead of mozilla ...

Try openoffice-bin instead of gnumeric (oocalc is a more common standard)
