Building KDE without the bloat

Not sure how to phrase my question, so I'll just have to do the best I can.

Wondering if it would be possible, to build a kde meta package from source but exclude the packages I don't want. I'll use kdegames for example. Would it be possible to build kdegames and exclude every game except for solitare?

Second scenario: Wondering if I could build the kdegames package without selecting ANY of the games, so that the kdegmaes package is very small, then I could build each one of the games as a seperate file. For example I might have a smaller metapackage called kdegames, then another few smaller files called kdegames-solitare and kdegames-kbounce for example...
