Qt4

app-i18n/ibus-qt is necessary in order to be able to use the ibus input system within KDE applications.

Qt5

To enable the ibus input method within Qt5 applications, install dev-qt/qtgui with the 'ibus' USE flag instead.

Create an ebuild for KDE 1. Make sure it can be installed and used alongside KDE Plasma 5.

In October 2016, for KDE's 20th birthday, KDE 1 was fixed and re-released to work on a modern system:

Ibus: Chinese input not working in specific applications

Ibus / Chinese input not working in specific applications

KDE applications

Requirements for ibus to work within KDE applications:

- The package ibus-qt should be installed.

- The package ibus-qt should be built against the proper qt library. This is relevant in distributions (like gentoo) which may ship with several qt libraries installed (e.g. qt4 and qt5). ibus-qt will only work within applications built for the same libraries as itself.
In gentoo:
For Qt4 applications, install: app-i18n/ibus-qt.

logind

logind depends on systemd.
The bug below shows that KDE developers fully expect users to use logind and systemd:

Bug 360489 -  kscreenlocker suggests running "loginctl unlock-sessions" even though I don't use systemd

A reply from a KDE developer says that they won't fix this for users not using systemd:
