If you had read the description of Okular in eix you would have known that
it is niether lightweight, nor standalone

"Universal document viewer based on KDE Frameworks"

Calling such an animal an itty-bitty-applet is doing it a grave
injustice, as is trying to use it as one.

The thing with KDE is that it is designed as an integrated environment
and intended to be used as such. So trying to install an individual
program is bound to bring in the backend support stuff.

Switching to a non-KDE profile, unmerging everything KDE with

emerge -cav $(qfile -IC kde)

and then installing lxde-meta should do what you want.
