Per the developers documentaiton (http://hansmi.ch/software/inputd), inputd requires glibc version 2.4 or higher. glibc is not listed as a dependency in the version 0.0.5 ebuild.
No, it needs libc w/ inotify support, which you'll by compiling glibc against appropriate linux-headers version. There's no way to state such dependency, and the ebuild already depends on necessary linux-headers version.

It doesn't require glibc, it can work w/ any libc (like uclibc and others) that supports appropriate inotify stuff (inotify_add_watch, inotify_rm_watch etc.)
