Which version of kguitar? I don't have it installed, but looking at
the one in my tree (-0.5), the ebuild does not care about the midi 
use flag. 

I think what you need is a midi player, something like timidity++
perhaps?

then  
#  rc-update add timidity default
# /etc/init.d/timidity start
and ok! kguitar-0.5 works!
