For ImageMagick, I do not know. If Magick-config is in /opt/local/bin it 
should be found and processed.

What is the result of:
Magick-config --version 

As for Krita, well Krita is not in KOffice 1.3, so the check is probably only 
for the Latex export filters.

As for aspell, you have the library and its headers, haven't you?

Yes, that is the best for KOffice. Try to make it first and then fix one by 
one the missing libraries.

Is KDE also in /opt/local ?

Otherwise, you will have to set $KDEDIRS like
/opt/local:/path/to/kde

I have not really any idea for now, may be David has one.
