Default reinstall from stage 3

Hi u all

OK, I've done some stupid things : "emerge -C .." of some packages (
including KDE ), because I got collisions when updating or installing
needed packages . Now, I can boot and a lot of things work well, but I can't
reinstall kde, or gnome , I get a lot of 'econf errors' . Emerge world ,
emerge system, revdep-rebuild ... all of these fail with econf errors or
collisions ...
Then I'd like to reinstall my Gentoo, but I don't want to lose my datas (
photos, movies ) , and if possible, I'd like not to have to reinstall some
applications like VDR , witch is sometimes a bit painfull to get working
..
As I can boot my Gentoo OK, do you think I could try an install from stage3,
booting normally ( not from CD and chroot ) , erase my \distfiles and get
the new portage....bz2 ( allready downloaded ) ?
Before all of this happened , I had allready updated the kernel, so the
differences should not be too big ?

Thanks a lot for your answers

cu,
jf
