Dear Hannah,
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I tend to be online somewhat
sporadically and in a lonely timezone (UTC +11) so I prefer asynchronous
communication. That said, I will try sitting on IRC when I can to see
what happens.
In regard to your suggestions, I found that any kind of 'emerge qtbase'
fell over pretty much immediately with a complaint about a missing
Makefile. So here is what I did (starting from a completely fresh
installation), with links to the resulting log files. I hope someone can
decode these messages - from what I can see everything looks normal
enough until a line stating that the build has failed. As for the patch
errors I was getting previously - I have no idea what happened to them.

Hi Jonathan,
Emerge is the best way to build KDE applications on Windows.
But we are not active in the forums, even the mailing list isn't that
active.
The best way to get support is to join our irc channel #kde-windows
<http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=kde-windows&uio=MTE9MTk117> stay
around and being patient.
You are right the patch errors are only warnings and applying the same
patch again and a non essential fail of a patch .
The real error seems to be somewhere between the patch error and the
build failure.
You can run the build step independent from the rest by running "emerge
-vvv --make qtbase".
You can pipe the output of the build to a file like this "emerge -vvv
--make qtbase 2>&1 > log.txt", we need a full log to help you to find
the issue.
See you soon in our channel, I can't wait for an Okular installer :)
Cheers,
Hannah
