I've now gone through some effort to get dbus/hal built up to where I
could link kdebase against it, and the above package will not work,
AFAICT. Actually, I should say that they are probably perfectly useful
bindings, but not the ones expected by kdebase. They have completely
different APIs.

You can find out if hal linked in by seeing the log from when you
build kdebase. Otherwise, check whether it's linked to the appropriate
kde module, kded_mediamanager.so:
# ldd kdebase-3.5.6/dest/usr/lib/kde3/kded_mediamanager.so | grep hal
libhal-storage.so.1 => /usr/lib/libhal-storage.so.1 (0x00b00000)
libhal.so.1 => /usr/lib/libhal.so.1 (0x00b0a000)
I did some googling after the bindings from above didn't work out.
Turns out that there is a snapshot of the bindings from dbus-0.62
(just the qt3 directory) kept in kdesupport in the KDE svn for just
this purpose.
http://websvn.kde.org/branches/kdesupport/3.5/kdesupport/dbus/
There are instructions in the README there for generating a tarball. I
did that, the results and instructions are here:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~dnicholson/downloads/dbus-qt3-0.62.tar.gz
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~dnicholson/downloads/dbus-qt3.txt
These bindings built fine against dbus-1.0.2 (fresh install, no old
headers/libraries hanging around) and kdebase built against them. I
haven't actually tested them at runtime. I'd prefer not to since I'm
no KDE fan and I have just the barest parts of X installed to build
KDE from a chroot.
If some KDE fan (Bruce?) wants to try dbus-1.0.2 with the above
dbus-qt3 snapshot, that would be great. Joe, maybe you could see if
I'm on crack since your system is about in this condition?
