Any command line options you'd like me to add to increase the verbosity of the output?

Can you try putting a text file in the folder /Applications/kstars.app/Contents/MacOS called qt.conf with the following contents:

[Paths]
Plugins = Plugins

or possibly in /Applications/kstars.app/Contents/Resources

That is actually where it was before.

I don't know why but it seems to be missing in the build I made last night. Weird. It has been automatically in kstars every time I built it for a very long time! Now it is suddenly not there.

I tried both places and tried to start KStars from the command line but got the same error:
$> /Applications/kstars.app/Contents/MacOS/kstars
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "cocoa"
in "".
 
Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

I meant: I first tried /Applications/kstars.app/Contents/Resources and tried to start KStars but got the error. Then i tried /Applications/kstars.app/Contents/MacOS and got the same error. I even tried having the file with those contents in both directories at the same time but still I got the error.

Lots of output which I captured in a txt file by adding a 2>&1 redirect. See the attached file.

oh! it still might just be qt.conf. the plugins directory is not Plugins, its PlugIns

[Paths]
Plugins = PlugIns
