The dependency in RDEPEND for kile-2.1.2-r1.ebuild reads:
30 RDEPEND="${DEPEND}
31 $(add_kdebase_dep kdebase-data)
32 || (
33 $(add_kdebase_dep okular 'pdf?,postscript')
34 app-text/acroread
35 )
The || (...) means that Kile depends on either acroread, or okular
with USE=postscript and also USE=pdf if USE=pdf is set on kile. Check
your USE flags on Okular if Portage is wanting to bring in acroread
instead.
