Well...
This is not going to happen, I'm afraid. GIFT upstream has major problems with 64-bit architectures, doesn't get the build system fixed and is looking for a new maintainer without much success - he asked even me. :-) Even with newer versions upstream provided me with and on x86, GIFT and KDE don't play together nicely (not to speak of being stable).
I did file this bug to track the issue, not with the idea to add gift to the repository. Letting our users build and install something that is unusable to them is pointless and we actually can do something about it.
Taken care of in new revisions.
