I wouldn't describe it as a database middleware since the database is an 
implementation detail. Firefox isn't a database browser just because it 
happens to use an SQLite database for tracking browsing history and stuff.

Just to clarify for other readers: this is about Gentoo's defaults.

While it is not being worked on right now I wouldn't assume it will get more 
difficult to keep working.
I am currently running an unchanged Kontact 4.4 on KDE 4.7 and it continues to 
work without any problem, so I would not expect an upgrade to KDE 4.8 to cause 
any either.
