on BSD I get warnings such that:

stat: illegal option -- -
usage: stat [-FlLnqrsx] [-f format] [-t timefmt] [file ...]
 * QA Notice:
 * Package kfile is breaking /usr/share/config permissions.
 * Please report this issue to gentoo bugzilla.
 * Permissions will get adjusted automatically now.

at the end of emerge of every single kde4 package. Would it be possible to disable this check if USERLAND!=GNU or use userland_GNU isnt set?

OK, this is the code snippet:

------
if [[ $(stat --format=%a "${y}/${x}") != 755 ]]; then
  ewarn "QA Notice:"
  ewarn "Package ${PN} is breaking ${y}/${x} permissions."
  ewarn "Please report this issue to gentoo bugzilla."
  einfo "Permissions will get adjusted automatically now."
  find "${y}/${x}" -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 755
fi
------

Under linux, the short equivalent of "--format" is "-c". But, judging from
your error message, that option does not exist with BSD stat. 

"%a" means "Access rights in octal". Could you please check what exactly is
the BSD equivalent? Maybe "-f %a" ?

We could need some help from the bsd guys here...

Is it possible to install gnu stat on bsd (as gstat?), and what's the ebuild name then (for adding a dependency)?

Created attachment 269801 [details, diff]
patch for kde4-functions.eclass

This problem reproduced my environment. 
I applied this patch and solved.

KDE team,
BTW, Gentoo/FreeBSD has the problem that the source cannot extract. 
When having free time to you, could you check Bug 363471 ?
thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot! I added the patch to the overlay eclass for testing, and will move it to the main tree later.
