You were on the right path Florin. What it took was adding

export PATH=$KDEDIR/bin:$PATH

Though I did leave the exported Qt path in there.

Poking around the dbus bugzilla and google led me to that. Oh and the current 
version of dbus is 0.32. This bug report that lead me to this is

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1485

Additionally it looks like those optional depends are not really needed by 
looking at the configure.in. They are automatically checked for their 
presence.
