The bottleneck on OSX is to get KDE working first :( And it is hasn't
been cracked yet! See the discussions here (especially Mike Arthur's
replies towards the end):

So, my comments below don't hold much water at all!! Still...

Hmm, is KDE 4 installed? If so, can you use the full path for
kde4-config? May be /sw/bin/kde4-config? (Find where kde4-config
is...)

As you can see from the above threads, this has been a problem on OSX
....  Unfortunately, not much that we can do now.
