I saw that this weekend to compile with default value not enable nor
disable  config-dbus and config-hal 

you will need apply the follow patch:

--- hw/vnc/Makefile.am.orig 2008-03-09 18:18:55.000000000 +0000
+++ hw/vnc/Makefile.am  2008-03-09 18:19:03.000000000 +0000

              $(JPEG_LIBS) \
              $(CRYPT_LIBS) \
+             $(HAL_LIBS) \
              $(VNCMODULES_LIBS)
