I asked about this on kde-forums.org and got the answer I was looking for. Apparently, they set the timeout to establish a connection to 15000ms, which just doesn't cut it. I unzipped /usr/portage/distfiles/kdenetwork-3.2.0*, and followed Twiggy794's advice, and then manually recompiled and installed just kopete: > Yyyyeah ~ I had this problem.

It would be nice if this was made into a patch and submitted to the gentoo ebuild but I've never done that before (I would guess there's some docs on gentoo.org saying how easy it is and how much of a hero I would be to do so.)
