Rebuilding libs for each package is not an option as Gentoo is a source based 
distributions, users would kill us :) Unpacking more stuff won't hurt as far 
as we don't build everything over and over again. Would it be possible to 
only build the package in question but make CMake use the targets it doesn't 
build (e.g. konq in the kdepasswd case)?
