Just to answer my own question, and in case any other interested newbies 
want to know:

kdelibs4_snapshot comes with scons-0.96.91, so you don't even need to 
download/install it separately.  There is a Sconstruct script in 
kdelibs4_snapshot/.

cd to kdelibs4_snapshot.  execute "tar jxvf bksys/scons-mini.tar.bz2". 
Then you can just type "./scons" to attempt a compile.

However, when I tried it, it fails with
"Checking for uic3 version      :  version 3.2.3 (too old)"
Why does it need uic3?  Shouldn't it use the tools from Qt4?
How do I tell scons where to find my Qt4 installation (i.e., what is the 
  equivalent of "./configure --with-qt-dir=/path/to/qt4" ? )

thanks,
Jason
