kdelibs rebuild takes quite some time, so if you need i'll post my env
files:
 this is /etc/env.d/45kdepaths-3.5:

PATH=/usr/kde/3.5/bin
ROOTPATH=/usr/kde/3.5/sbin:/usr/kde/3.5/bin
LDPATH=/usr/kde/3.5/lib:/usr/kde/3.5/lib64:/usr/kde/3.5/lib32
MANPATH=/usr/kde/3.5/share/man
CONFIG_PROTECT="/usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/env
/usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config"
KDEDIRS="/usr:/usr/local:/usr/kde/3.5"
#KDE_IS_PRELINKED=1
XDG_DATA_DIRS="/usr/share:/usr/kde/3.5/share:/usr/local/share"
COLON_SEPARATED="XDG_DATA_DIRS"

and this is:

43kdepaths-kde-svn:

PATH="/usr/kde/svn/bin"
ROOTPATH="/usr/kde/svn/sbin:/usr/kde/svn/bin"
LDPATH="/usr/kde/svn/lib:/usr/kde/svn/lib64:/usr/kde/svn/lib32"
MANPATH="/usr/kde/svn/share/man"
CONFIG_PROTECT="/usr/kde/svn/share/config /usr/kde/svn/env
/usr/kde/svn/shutdown /usr/share/config"
KDEDIRS="/usr:/usr/local:/usr/kde/svn"
#KDE_IS_PRELINKED=1
XDG_DATA_DIRS="/usr/share:/usr/kde/svn/share:/usr/local/share"
COLON_SEPARATED="XDG_DATA_DIRS"

of course, if you're using the portage kde 4.0.x you'll need to modify svn
into 4.0. and manually verify the corectness of all the dirs.
