I'd emerge'd mono out of idle curiosity; emerge -C'ing it fixed this. 

[Comment 2 Dan Armak (RETIRED) 2002-12-13 11:56:29 UTC]

C# kdebindings support is officially broken I think. We need to make the ebuild not try to use it even if mono is installed.

I posted to this related thread earlier: 
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9645 .  As you will see from the comments
there, the problem seems to be that it is trying to use csant, which is part of
portable.net, not mono.  I thought it just might be a config problem, as the
configure script doesn't specifically check for csant, it seems to just assume
its there.  I checked the qtsharp homepage, and the most recent version is
supposed to work with mono, not portable.net, so i'm not sure why this would be
happening.

and as for the above mentioned "solution," that is only helpful if you aren't
trying to use mono.

See the README in the qtsharp source dir. We need csant to compile it, but csant 
isn't in portage yet. Therefore I've disabled qtsharp compilation for now (even if mono 
is installed); adding csant is a todo. 

[Comment 5 Dan Armak (RETIRED) 2003-01-31 07:13:18 UTC]

...However it's not my todo :-) 
the original problem reported is now fixed (kdebindings failing beacuse csant isn't found).
