KDE 4.1.0 build error: qt does not recognize dbus

I have trouble building kde-4.1.0 on mac os x 10.5.4.

I am building fresh versions of all the dependencies; I must be missing some additional config parameters, though I have scoured the "configure --help" outputs for each step...

Here is my progress:
1. cmake - built, no problems.
2. dbus - built, no problems. (--prefix=/usr/local)
3. qt - does not recognize libdbus-1 (which is present in /usr/local/lib), and thus cannot build QtDBus, which KDE cannot live without. This is my configure command:
../../src/qt-copy/configure -bindir /usr/local/bin -libdir /usr/local/lib -headerdir /usr/local/include -dbus -v

I had initially suspected that the kdesupport and kdelibs packages needed to find the stuff easier, so I can probably leave the installation prefix alone (/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.4 or whatever), but that doesn't matter much for just building the thing in the first place.

The precise error message returned from the above configure call was this:
"the libdbus-1 version 0.62 was not found - cannot build QtDBus"

But I have these files present:
localhost:/usr/local/lib user $ ls -F1
automoc4/
dbus-1.0/
libdbus-1.3.4.0.dylib*
libdbus-1.3.dylib -> libdbus-1.3.4.0.dylib
libdbus-1.a
libdbus-1.dylib -> libdbus-1.3.4.0.dylib
libdbus-1.la*
...

Is that not enough? inside dbus-1.0/ is the following file:
/usr/local/lib/dbus-1.0/include/dbus/dbus-arch-deps.h

Any help would be greatly appreciated; I would really like to get KDE-4.1 running on the mac
