Can you have, say, KDE on Gentoo without systemd? "Without systemd" means *all* of systemd, like systemd-login0 etc..
Many components of the KDE Software Collection have no identifiable dependency on systemd's support libraries. (Indeed, a significant fraction of them can be built for Windows.)
I don't know whether you can get a fully functional KDE Plasma Desktop without policykit, and I don't know whether you can get a fully functional recent version of policykit without depending on the interfaces of logind.
The best place to ask would be the user community discussion spaces (mailing lists / web forums / IRC channels) for KDE and/or for Gentoo Linux.
