Thanks for your advice!

Following up on that advice, I tried adding an "m17nlib"  USE flag to 
the uim ebuild that would enable me to turn it on and off. However, I 
must have done something wrong, because the ebuild didn't work 
afterwards. Could someone else add it? It might work something like this:

USE="-m17nlib" emerge uim
emerge m17n-lib scim scim-tables scim-chinese scim-uim
