I don't know very much about KDE stuff, since I got rid of it for 
a long time, but IMHO it seems there's an principle problem on 
the install layout - 3.x and 4.x should be completely separate,
never conflicting each other. So some package kfoo either depends
on kdelibfoo-3.x OR kdelibfoo-4.x.

Of course I don't know whether the problems comes from ebuilds 
or upstream ;-o
