I also recently tried trunk on a fresh install of Mandriva 2009.1 with a basic 
kde4 install.

The only dependencies that required attention were 3 development libraries ( 
faad, lame, forgot the third ) all of which were in the standard 
repositories.

Fortunately I did not try the distcc approach and was just patient. The 
compile and operation was perfect.

When I decided to add mythmusic, there were 4 more dependencies such as 
cdparanoia, cdda. libvisual, etc. All of which were also in the standard 
repositories.

Overall it was a good experience and 0.22 will be welcome when it is released.
