Sorry for getting back so late - in the meantime I've tried to 
install PyQt on a few other machines. One problem I had was that
on Redhat /usr/local/lib, where sip installs by default, wasn't
included in ld.so.conf or the ld_library_path. Sip isn't a Python
module, really, so it doesn't reside in /lib/python.

I do think you need X, really. Have you got the development packages
installed?

If you try again, first remove config.cache, to force autoconf to look
again, then run ./configure again. If you still can't get it to work,
I'd suggest contacting Phil Thompson - he's far more knowledgeable
in compiling matters than I am. Success!
