qt-dbus build doesn't honor rpath?

Nothing mystic going on there.
Have a look at set_target_properties() on the cmake manpage. Using these 
properties the RPATH/install_name_dir stuff can be adjusted.

In FindKDE4Internal.cmake (search for RPATH in this file and KDE4Macros.cmake) 
it is done that way that if you set CMAKE_SKIP_RPATH to TRUE, no RPATH at all 
is used and for running the executables from the buildtree shell scripts are 
generated.
Otherwise, during build the RPATH is set to the builddir, so that executables 
can simply be run without installing.
When installing the RPATH is set to the INSTALL_RPATH, which consists 
basically of the Qt lib dir, the KDE lib dir and the install lib dir.
By default the INSTALL_RPATH is empty.
