As far as I can tell, yes. ksmserver relies on HAL at the moment, and the appropriate #ifdef logic has not yet been added to the code to disable HAL.
HAL is simply a small background process that should not affect anything else on your system. Why doesn't it work on Gentoo?
On Gentoo HAL cannot be installed with newer versions of udev.
