A good trick for getting the build dependencies for building KDE trunk modules 
is to use your distro's package management tools to install the dependencies 
for the given module

eg on openSUSE 11.1, trying to build nepomuk in kdebase for KDE 4.3

Register the KDE 4.3 repo (otherwise you will get the build deps for KDE 4.1 
kdebase4-runtime.
 
$ zypper ar -f \     
    http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/43/openSUSE_11.1/ \
    kde43

Install the build dependencies for the packaged version of the module you want 
to build:

$ zypper source-install -d kdebase4-runtime

Even if you don't want to get all the dependencies, the list of new packages 
to install that zypper proposes should give you a clue what to install (in 
this case, libraptor-devel), then you can cancel the zypper source-install.

Contra la onesided distro promotion in k-c-d!  You can do this with apt-get 
build-deps too, I think!
