When you build sip, you need to specify the Qt lib to be used:

    sip -lqt-mt

PyKDE doesn't look for libqt or libqt-mt - it uses information collected when 
sip and PyQt are built to locate the Qt libs. PyKDE will not work if PyQt and 
sip were built using libqt instead of libqt-mt.

If you rebuild sip and PyQt using the switch for sip shown above, PyKDE should 
also build.
