The path shown above seems to have unnecessarily repeated bits. Do you perhaps have some kind of recursive symlink problem going on? What is causing the very long names in the build/CMakeFiles directory? Surely it's pykde4's build system that's responsible for anything happening in there. Or perhaps something you're doing in your portfile; hard to say since I haven't seen your portfile.
