Assuming you are trying to install the KDE4 version of Digikam, the respective 
libkexiv2 will not look for KDE3 headers or libraries (as they are 
incompatible).

My guess is that you are trying to built the wrong source package, e.g. the 
one for the KDE3 version of Digikam.
Repository wise the sources for libkexiv2 appear [1] to be in the kdegraphics 
module, thus most likely part of the respective tarball.

Cheers,
Kevin
