Definitely something wrong on your box.
KDE-3.5 libs always go in /usr/kde/3.5/lib
KDE-4 libs go in /usr/lib or /usr/kde/4/lib depending on your "USE=kdeprefix"
Symlinks are not likely to work, as karbon-1.6.2 wants to build against
KDE-3.5 stuff.
Lets start with your make.conf and emerge --info plus "eix kdelibs"
