Where is the file libhpi.so in the ibm-jdk-bin package? For reference, the code that check for java can be found in kdebase-3.3.2/admin/acinclude.m4.in
There is no libhpi.so present.
After a bit of investigation, it seems that the checks kdebase do with respect to java are really not needed (see http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100729 for reference). I changed kdebase-3.4 accordingly, in the meantime you can compile kdebase-3.3.2 with USE="-java" and you will not lose any functionality.
Applying the same change for kdebase-derived packages in kde-meta.eclass.
