This is quite similar to this one -> http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61808
I am surprized that nobody ever told you to put export PYTHON_DIR=`echo \`which
python\` | sed "s|/bin/python||"` in your ~/.bashrc ;-)

This sounds more related to the packaging system (autoconf automake configure)
than to koffice. I agree that this is not very user friendly, and that the tools
should detect the right settings or warn the users (KDEDIR, JAVADIR ...).

In addition the behaviour is not consistent : I've never seen ./configure
complain about missing compiler (CXX not set) ;-)
