Okay, this wasn't my fault. I did tell PyQt to compile QtSvg but the test 
compilation failed.

QtSvg does work - the Qt examples work fine. It looks like PyQt configure 
is linking the libraries in the wrong order when doing the test for QtSvg

The command line for linking the test program has

-lQtSvg -lQtCore -lQtGui

when it should be
-lQtSvg -lQtGui -lQtCore

If I swap them round the compilation succeeds. I haven't investigated why 
configure is doing them in this order.
