Do I understand correctly that you are using SVN TRUNK?  I would advise 
against that.  If you want KDE-4 built from source, I suggest that you 
build the 4.3 BRANCH.  If you use TRUNK, you should expect things to 
break from time to time.

Installing HAL and D-Bus from source is not a simple thing to do.  It is 
a major project since they require not only building and installation 
but considerable setup and configuration.  Have you done all this?

Useful assistance can be found here:

You also might want to borrow some of the configuration and setup files 
which ARE NOT included in the source distribution from the binary 
packages for your distro.  In some cases you may need to write your own 
"init.d" scripts using your distro's and LFS as a guide.
