What are you trying to accomplish?  Just compiling Smoke by itself
won't get you much, unless you're writing bindings that use the Smoke
library.  If that's the case, I'd try following the directions in the
file CMakeLists.txt.qtruby.  That file should only build the Qt Smoke
libraries and the Ruby bindings, which you can disable.  There was a
recent patch submitted to the list that brings that file up to date,
see http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-bindings&m=126426421509119&w=2 .  I've
used this method to compile the smoke libraries on OS X without having
any kde packages installed.
