Looking at the bsd.kde4.mk it looks like there's not much logic to
detect the "right" kind of dependency. It seems to use suffixes _build
and _run to achieve the same effect as pkgconfig:build and
pkgconfig:run would have. It defaults to both build and run dependency
if no type is specified.

In my opinion Jeremy's solution would be fine for now, least amount of
immediate destruction :P
