kde-bindings contains copies of SIP, PyQt and PyKDE that are known to work 
together and have been tested with the version of KDE that kde-bindings ships 
with. It is more or less provided for convienence. If it is not working for 
you (or gentoo!) then you should file a bug at bugs.kde.org, or email me 
directly. Build problems in kdebindings are not going to fix themselves 
unless people actually "sound the alarm". (What is the patch from gentoo 
anyway??)

(oh, the snapshots from Jim are always more update to date than what is in 
kdebindings. But kdebindings does try it not break BC all the time by jumping 
to newer SIP versions.)

cheers,
