Good, you're getting into kde-recognizable technologies, now. =:^)

Based on the dependencies here, you should be able to specify that you do
NOT want polkit support, since Gentoo has it as a USE flag which means
the dependency is optional. Let me see how the build specifies that it
wants it or not...
$(cmake-utils_use_with policykit PolkitQt-1)
Translating the gentoo eclass shorthand...
cmake-utils_use_with <USE flag> [flag name]
`cmake-utils_use_with foo FOO` echoes -DWITH_FOO=ON if foo is enabled
and -DWITH_FOO=OFF if it is disabled.
(That's from the gentoo cmake-utils.eclass manpage, auto-generated from
in-eclass documentation.)
So -DWITH_PolkitQt-1=OFF fed to the ./configure step, should disable that
dependency. (You can probably run ./configure --help to get a listing of
this and other options you can feed to configure. Might come in handy
for other dependencies...)
As for gio2.0, I don't see a direct dependency of that name, but based on
some comments on plugin packages for it, I /believe/ it's part of glib.
So you apparently need a newer glib. 2.28.8 is what I have installed,
2.28.6 is also available in gentoo, as well as the old glib-1.2.10 for
those apps still using glib-1. The polkit-0.101 ebuild says it needs
>=glib-2.28, with the gentoo changelog saying 2.28.0 was introduced in
February. (Note that if you build a new glib, you'll probably need to
rebuild dbus-glib too, as it'll break with a new glib.)
But depending on why you are building kdelibs (I thought I saw that you
wanted it for kdevelop, but I can't seem to find it now), if you don't
think you'll need the auth framework, it's probably easiest to simply
disable that... at the cost of possibly needing to go back and enable it
because something doesn't work, later. If you're building all of kde,
I'd definitely recommend keeping it enabled, but if you're just doing it
for a couple packages, that aren't likely to need superuser auth or the
like, you can probably get by without it.
