I am away from my portage tree right now, so I can't check this. AFAIK, k3b needs transcode only for recording a DVD to harddisk (in AVI format?). It then allows to write the result to another DVD. If you don't intend to use that feature but use k3b only for burning and copying CDs and DVDs, you don't need transcode. So I guess there is a USE flag like "-transcode" or somesuch to build it without that feature. Just poke around in the USE flag definitions.
