the easiest should be to install kdelibs4-dev. This should automatically 
pullin libqt3-mt-dev. Of course you'll also need r-base, and r-base-dev. I'm 
not sure, whether you need to specify autotools-dev explicitely, but you 
probably need that, too. At runtime, you'll also want to have php4-cli.

If anything is missing from this list (i.e. compilation does not work), please 
let us know.

Of course, you might also want to check, whether the .deb-package available on 
the downloads page works in testing (it's created for unstable, but maybe it 
will still work).
