It means there's a plugin somewhere in kdelibs that has a build-time and 
run-time dependency on kjs/kjsembed (or QtScript).

Such plugin implements an interface that is defined up above in the chain 
(probably at kdecore). And kdecore, when it realises it needs the 
JavaScript facilities, loads the plugin. This brings in kjs into the 
program's memory.

But note kjs is loaded into the program if and only if it's necessary.
