Actually it seems no deps are needed as there is already ksvgtopng tool build 
within kdebase/runtime/pics itself. It's a KDE4 application so it could be 
called "reference png renderer". It has very simple syntax and it seems to fit 
perfectly to this task (it's used to create those png's in SVN afterall).

All small icons (16x16, or 22x22, possibly others) that may need to be done 
manually (svn->png conversion may look bad for them) could be left as they are 
now in repository, IMHO there's no point to store bigger icons sets.

I see icon-*.sh files in runtime/pics/oxygen - those seem to be some SVN icon 
maintenance scripts - using this approach - they would need to be adjusted (to 
work just with files stored in repo - .svg's and manually generated .png's).

As I see in runtime/pics/oxygen/scalable there is export_pngs.sh script that 
actually converts .svg's to .png's using:
- inkscape (export scalable image to 512x512 png)
- scale (to destinations icon size like 32x32) icon sets using imagemagick 
- add them to svn

This script indeed has too heavy dependencies to be used in build time 
(inkscape is gtk/gnome application afterall) - so maybe it would be possible 
to use mentioned ksvgtopng tool instead (but first adding .svgz support to it)
