Although it may not be the only problem, it would appear that $DISPLAY is not set in the environment in which startkde is being called. Without this variable X clients cannot find the X server. Try the following:
1) comment out your ~/.xinitrc (to prevent your normal startup),
this will cause apples X11R6 to start with the quartz-wm as its window manager.
2 ) then in a shell manually set your $DISPLAY variable using:

If this works it will at least show that DCOP and the underlying KDE services are alright. If they are then the problem is more subtle, and will need further investigation, but it will have narrowed the range of possible explanations.
Just a thought.
