You have to rebuild from the Source RPM, as I mentioned how in my
initial post, however the exact steps were:
1. wget
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/SRPMS/kdegraphics-3.4.2-0.fc4.1.src.rpm
2. rpm -ivh kdegraphics-3.4.2-0.fc4.1.src.rpm
3. Edit the file /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kdegraphics.spec
Change:
%define kpovmodeler 0
to:
%define kpovmodeler 1
And then 
4. rpmbuild -ba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kdegraphics.spec
You'll probably have to install some dependent -devel packages,
rpmbuild will tell you which ones, one at a time :-(
unless you're like me and always install all development packages.
Some hours later you'll have an RPM package to install (you may
have to rpm --erase your old kdegraphics package).

HTH,
William.
