Gentoo use a dynamic configuration of LDPATH:

You put a config file into /etc/env.d like

/etc/env.d/51digikam-svn with a content like

PATH="/your/path/bin"
LDPATH="/your/path/lib"

then you run
env-update and now you have a new /etc/ld.so.conf and the system knows where 
to find your lib.

But you can also take the script from
http://forum.ebv4linux.de/viewtopic.php?t=747
and use the script in PATH startup method:
[...]
 cat > /usr/bin/digikam-svn << EOF 
 #!/bin/sh 
 export LDPATH="$MYDIR/lib:$LDPATH" 
 export KDEDIRS="$MYDIR:$KDEDIRS" 
 $MYDIR/bin/digikam 
 EOF 
 chmod a+x  /usr/bin/digikam-svn 

But watch out that this script runs with the same userconfig, so you need to 
setup a testuser to separate the userconfigs.
