I'd say it's a distribution problem. You're distribution has to ship
D-Bus/Qt3 bindings (Debian/Ubuntu do this) even if they are not
supported anymore upstream.
I can compile kpowersave withouth problems on a current Debian unstable
system using Qt3/KDE3 and dbus-0.93. The Qt D-Bus bindings in Debian
unstable are based on dbus-0.62 using the dbus-qt3 git source tree [1].

Imho it's not a good idea to patch every KDE application that uses the
Qt3 D-Bus bindings to use an internal copy of the D-Bus bindings.

Tell your distro to ship the split out dbus-qt3 bindings instead, even
if they are not officially supported anymore.

Cheers,
Michael
