Here's PyKDE-3.8.0/build/discover.py as shipped, starting at line 
613:

---------------------------------------------
def discoverPyQt (self, opts):
        """
        -v dir         the directory containing the PyQt sip  
        files
        """
        self.pyQtLib = DiscoverPyQtLib ("libqtcmodule*",\
                             [self.sipLib.path])

        if opts.has_key ("-v"):
            pyQtSipPath = [opts ["-v"]]
        else:
            pyQtSipPath = ["../", "/usr/local/",\
                                 "/usr/local/src/", "/usr/src/",\
                                 "/usr/share/sip",\
                                 "/usr/local/share/sip",\
                                 "/usr/share/sip/qt"]
        self.pyQtSip = DiscoverPyQtSip (os.path.join \
                             ("PyQt-x11-gpl-" +
                               self.pyQtLib.vers, "sip",\      
                               "qtmod.sip"), pyQtSipPath)
        print
---------------------------------------------

change it to:

        """

        files

        if opts.has_key ("-v"):
            pyQtSipPath = [opts ["-v"]]
	    # add this line:
	    self.pyQtSip = DiscoverPyQtSip ("qtmod.sip", pyQtSipPath)
                                 
        else:

                                 "/usr/share/sip/qt"]
	    # indent the following line so it's part of the 'else'
            self.pyQtSip = DiscoverPyQtSip (os.path.join \
                             ("PyQt-x11-gpl-" +

                               "qtmod.sip"), pyQtSipPath)
        print

You'll still need to use '-v', but this should make it work.  the 
logic for computing the search paths is pretty screwed up at the 
moment. Notice it should find your path automatically (without 
-v), but it mungs the name by adding 'PyQt-x11-gpl-3.8.1/sip' to 
it, which is also incorrect for some of the other candidate 
paths. 

I just installed Mdk 9.2 the other night (I still need to get it 
to NFS export) and I'm in the process of installing SuSE 9.0. 
When I get those both working, I'll apply all the necessary 
fixes, test them, and then put out a new release.
