I have these installed:

docbook-xml-dtd-4.3-r1
qt-dbus-4.6.2

I could not find LibDBusMenu-Qt or anything close to that.  The only 
package with qt and dbus in the name is above.  I have a full blown KDE 
install here.

I'm with Duncan, you should really look into trying Gentoo.  It's Linux 
from Scratch with a package manager.  This would save you a lot of 
headaches.  You still control all the flags and can watch the compile 
process as well.  Heck, you can do it manually if you want.
