I also tried emerge "<pykde-3.11.3" which tries to get 3.11.1 with a diff set of kde-libs, which also fails at the same point.
Problem Solved. apparently pykde does not yet support kde-libs 3.3.1, so if you emerge "<kde-libs-3.3.1" (that should emerge kde-libs-3.3.0), then re-emerge pykde, it worked for me.
