The dependency in RDEPEND for kile-2.1.2-r1.ebuild reads:

30 	RDEPEND="${DEPEND}
31 		$(add_kdebase_dep kdebase-data)
32 		|| (
33 			$(add_kdebase_dep okular 'pdf?,postscript')
34 			app-text/acroread
35 		)

The || (...) means that Kile depends on either acroread, or okular
with USE=postscript and also USE=pdf if USE=pdf is set on kile.  Check
your USE flags on Okular if Portage is wanting to bring in acroread
instead.
