I know nothing about these networkmanagement thingies (I have the strange theory that hardware belongs into the OS, not the desktop, but that's just me). But in any case, if portage is telling you that kde-misc/networkmanagement can't be installed alongside kde-base/kdelibs-4.6.4 is probably because of a good reason.
The most probable choices are that either the functionality has already been included into kde (or some official kde package, thus, into kde-base/whatever) or the package is not maintained and can't be compiled against newer kdelibs versions).
