okay, theres a simple fix and an explination here.

fix: 
   emerge ungif  kdegraphics


explination :
  some time in the past something linked against libungif (from the
ungif package) and was thereby reported in the .la files that contain
information about linking.
  Now, at some point libungif was removed or perhaps updated, but the
programs that built against libungif weren't rebuilt, so they are not
aware of this change in issues.

  this then led to them pointing at nonexistant files. When kdegraphics
now tries to use theese working packages, they can't find libungif.. 

   and break.


To find the source, grep libungif /usr/lib/*.la 
  trace theese down one at the time and rebuild in order of dependency
to libungif..   That should nicely eradicate all trails of libungif you
may have.
