I want to try kde (the look and the feel) but don;t want to wait 3 days to compile it :) is there a binary solution for installing kde? if so how to install it?

Well, you can emerge just kdebase and then emerge whatever you need later once your desktop is useable :)

It should take a lot less time compiling just kdebase, if you have a relatively fast computer it should be done overnight :)

Yes, but the beauty is that after you have emerged kdebase, you will have a minimal (well, not really but at least minimal:er ;)). Then you can add programs as you need them, ie the advantages of KDE without the bloat of KDE's million programs.

Also, search in the forums for DO_NOT_COMPILE, setting this variable allows you to only compile parts of a package. For example I only install KMail in the kdenetwork package.
