OK, I've found : "emerge kde" didn't install aRts ( ?? ) I've emerged it "by hand", and now kdeaccessibility compiles without any problem. The main problem is why arts wasn't installed ? the USE flags is correctly set.
arts is a requirement of kde unless you didn't have the use flag set - so if it didn't get installed when you installed kdelibs, then you didn't have it in your use flags.
Look at my use flags into "emerge info" : arts is present.
Right, but it must not have been present when you emerged kdelibs.
