Please don't post in HTML, it makes things hell to read, thanks.


mDNSResponder builds here OK. The latest version is the stable one:

alan@nazgul ~ $ eix mdnsresponder
[I] net-misc/mDNSResponder
     Available versions:  98 (~)107.1 (~)107.5 107.6-r5 {debug doc 
elibc_FreeBSD java}
     Installed versions:  107.6-r5(03:25:38 PM 11/05/2007)
(java -debug -doc -elibc_FreeBSD)
     Homepage:            
http://developer.apple.com/networking/bonjour/index.html
     Description:         The mDNSResponder project is a component of 
Bonjour, Apple's initiative for zero-configuration networking.

The USE flags that pull it in (at least the ones I'm using) are using 
zeroconf and NOT using avahi:

alan@nazgul ~ $ equery depends mDNSResponder
[ Searching for packages depending on mDNSResponder... ]
kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.8-r2 (!avahi & !bindist? net-misc/mDNSResponder)
net-print/cups-1.3.5 (zeroconf & !avahi? net-misc/mDNSResponder)

I'd guess you need USE=avahi to stop kdelibs from using mDNSResponder
