AFAIK there are 3 possibles solutions to this problem.
A. Patch bluez-utils' passkey-agent (adding old-style passkey support)
B. Use the un-official (?) SUSE patch that adds DBUS support to
kdebluetooth.
C. Keep kdebluetooth and bluez-utils as they are and create an out-side
wrapper.

Do you have any idea which course Gentoo used?
