I can confirm the same failure here, building against
kdebase-worspace-4.3.90.

That's one of those checks for stuff really only needed at runtime, not
buildtime... (which really irks me(1))
I'd propose that runtime-only checks like that:
1. not be fatal for the build
2. output/warning be made clearer that this is a runtime-only
dependency (or the check be removed altogether).
(though I suppose such a proposal may be better suited for the
buildsystem list)

p.s. amarok has a similar type of check for qtscriptgenerator... I'm
sure there are others.
