I can't speak for KPovModeler, but OpenGL is provided by Mesa on Linux. 
OpenGL is NOT free, but Mesa is supported by OpenGL and provides the same 
API's and development stuff. Have a look for Mesa and install that. After 
that, any other requirements for KPovModeler have to be found from the 
KPovModeler sources, and I don't understand C++ enough to begin to tell you 
where to look. The ./configure errors should give you clues as to what else 
is missing though.
