The main part is the help browser depends on it for the 'info'

About the gb.qt.kde and gb.qt.kde.html, the developer by gentoo has 
responded. He try to fix a problem but didn't well sofar. Not only the .info 
had to be removed but the compile of the whole kde part had to be 
blocked/disabled.

Unknow why gentoo had problems but you can always download the orginal source 
package and try if that will suceed. I beleave there was alread one who had 
done it with succes on gentoo.

On the website is also an instruction how to do. Realy that is not a big 
problem, until unexpected errors occur (as I once had with curl :=(  ).
You need at least libSDL, Qt 3.1 or higher and curl 7.10.6 or higher and this 
is already ok with you.
 
The sdl error is strange , no idea why that happens.

It wonder me that is needed. 
Only if your current KDE depends on an old QT version.
