No, it's SuSE specific. (Although IIRC Novell recently released YaST under a 
free software license, so in theory other distros could pick it up now. I 
don't really expect it to happen though.)

No, they are only the header files (*.h) of kdelibs. Those are needed to build 
packages from source.

As for your error, you need to pass a prefix to configure that contains KDE 
headers. By default a source package will install into /usr/local, you need 
to pass --prefix=`kde-config --prefix` to configure.

I assume it'll also work if you make sure configure searches the headers in 
the include path _AND_ you make sure the extra /usr/local prefix is part of 
the $KDEDIRS environment variable or mentioned in /etc/kderc.
