I never tried to build Inkscape against a development version (SVN trunk) of ImageMagick (it works fine with the stable releases - currently 6.7.2), but as far as I can tell, even the trunk version does define 'MatteChannel':

<http://trac.imagemagick.org/browser/ImageMagick/trunk/Magick%2B%2B/lib/Magick%2B%2B/Include.h?rev=774#L119>

Do you get the same build failure with a release version of ImageMagick?

If you can't solve the issue I would recommend to ask on the mailing list 'inkscape-devel'. You might also provide more information about your build environment (including GCC version and the default flags used for compiling), and include relevant portions of the configure log/output.

AFAIK there have been repeated issues with compiling Inkscape on Arch Linux, maybe due to the default configuration of GCC, and how include files are handled (explicit header dependencies, or top-level-inclusion-only scheme).

Thank you for answering. The error only occurs with the development version of imagemagick. I guess something changed in their way to manage includes.
