I added the patchset to app-office/koffice-1.4.0-r2. It is a bit painful to make the patch apply to the split koffice ebuilds, it needs someone that can spend some time on it... but there's also a koffice-1.4.1 coming in less than two weeks, so probably this is not vital.
koffice 1.4.1 is in portage.
