Looks as you need to install the X11 developer-packages. It may the easiest 
way to take a look at 
http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4#Required_packages_from_your_distribution 
and just install the list of developer-packages for your distribution listed 
at the link above. That's needed anyway if you plan to also compile other 
things your own in the future.
If you are OpenSuse-user, then OpenSuse 11.1 does contain the Keyboard Status 
Applet already (see http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3746).

I hope that helps.
