well, generally kdeprefix is always good for any kde version,
especially for 4.x ones.
-kdeprefix means that that specific package tries to install inside
/usr instead of /usr/kde/prefix
and so it cannot find the needed versions. what you can do is modify
the ebuild to use
kdeprefix itself, since a package depending on kde4 not using
kdeprefix is quite broken.
compile it and it should work, then post a bug report with the new
ebuild so that the
maintaners of that package would fix it in portage too.
