Install libarts-devel.
The problem is that the KDE autoconf macros (kde-common/admin/acinclude.m4.in) 
have been written with a full kdelibs installation in mind.
This includes libarts-devel and libfam-dev, among others, which are not forced 
onto a Debian system when installing kdelibs*-dev.

I just came across this problem for our project as well, and will try to fix 
this.
The current acinclude.m4.in is 129 kB in size, which is necessary for KDE CVS 
modules but most of its content is meaningless to 3rd party KDE apps, so I'm 
maybe going to create a stripped-down version.
(There's lot of historical garbage in it which dates back to KDE 1 days...)
