I will submit a bug when I can reproduce consistently.  I am running against a "debug full" build of the entire KDE+QT platform, so lots of messages!

Understood. Yes of course it should parse.  The last run with the full Calligra project took long. Probably wasn't patient enough.  Seems to finish now.

Is /usr/local good enough or should it be /usr/local/share? The specification  http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html  recommends the respective share directories, but the docs at http://techbase.kde.org/KDevelop4/HowToCompile don't.  Also does DATA_HOME matter?

Will do.

Ok.  Just a tad longer, then again this is KDE debug build.  I've restarted often while the old process was winding down.  Not a big problem.

Yes.  On the Apple Menu bar under KDevelop there is a Preferences menu item mapped to "<command>," .It invokes the Build tool view and kicks off a cmake in that window.  I checked my settings and could not see a shortcut for it.  But it's there.  Here is a snapshot:

Not sure if I need things like the kdeworkspace and samba or any other libraries but kderuntime, kdelibs, qt-kdev, automoc, attica, dbusmenuqt, etc… from the kde/mac pages.

Ok, Will dig in and experiment further.

Check the snapshot above, it seems like the entire window is off vertically by a toolbar height.  You'll also notice that the "Project Selection window in the bottom left corner is cut off at the bottom.  I haven't kicked off a debug session to see what happens to the toolbar then.

It's looking actually better now that the underlying KDE+QT platform is a bit more stable on my end.  Again I've rebuilt everything from master on kde.org.  I will try a full release build and maybe linking to  the latest "stable" Mac QT  SDK from the website.  Unfortunately there isn't one yet for KDE on the Mac (very lonely out there…) Otherwise,  I LIKE the integration with CMake out-of-box.  I have Eclipse/Indigo running and it's a little more difficult to import KDE projects correctly for my entire workflow…  If you guys want me to check and test some features out on the Mac…just ask!
