I think the problem here is that the ebuild is done by a non-root user,
which should work really. Tinkering with /usr/share/applications won't
help, as you won't have permissions during the build process.

Please have a look at debian/rules:

1) prior to calling the configure script the environment variable
UPDATE_DESKTOP_DATABASE is set to /bin/true. This prevents installation of
mime files during the package build:

UPDATE_DESKTOP_DATABASE=/bin/true \
        ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-hamlib --mandir=/usr/share/man

2) remove some of the mime files after the build:

find debian/tmp/usr/share/mime -type f -a ! -name xlog.xml | xargs rm -fv
find debian/tmp/usr/share/mime -type d \
 | xargs rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty

3) when installing the gentoo package update-desktop-database should be
called. In debian this is handled by a post-installation script called
postinst:

if [ -x /usr/bin/update-desktop-database ] ; then
    /usr/bin/update-desktop-database
fi

So, the gentoo maintainer needs to put some effort into this....
