This looks very much like an incompatibility with your KDE. The DTD definition 
is either to old or to new for the docbook. What version of KDE are you 
using?

If its 3.0 or newer kpovmodeler should be in your distro under the kdegraphics 
package. If for whatever reason its missing what might  be best is to use the 
CVS, and get a version of kpovmodeler that matches your KDE version.

i.e. If your KDE was version 3.1.2 you could use

cd /where/you/want/the/sources/
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous at anoncvs.kde.org:/home/kde
cvs login
password: ( Simply press enter here )
cvs co -r KDE_3_1_2_RELEASE admin
cvs co -r KDE_3_1_2_RELEASE -l kdegraphics
cvs co -r KDE_3_1_2_RELEASE kdegraphics/kpovmodeler
cvs logout
cd kdegraphics
ln -s ../admin
echo kpovmodeler > inst-apps
make -f Makefile.cvs

You can then do configure, make and make install as you did with the sources 
from the site. Except you do it in the kdegraphics directory and not the 
kpovmodeler directory.
