This is not a conflict between kde4 and kde3. You can tell because the kde3 packages are all prefixed with kdemod3-*, which does not appear here.
This is a conflict between KDE4 and KDE4-unstable. I'd try resolving it by completely uninstalling all the KDE(4) packages and then reinstalling them (this time from kde-unstable).

DR,
I have never installed anything from kde4 prior to trying to install kde4- unstable. The only kde4 that is on my box would be from kde3 packages built against the kde4 runtime that have pulled in kde4base, etc. as dependencies.
AFAIK, none of the kdemod3 packages are dependent on KDE4 packages. They probably came in with some KDE app you installed. (e.g., k3b)
How would I uninstall this stuff so I can proceed with the kde4-unstable install??
1) pacman -Q | grep kde | grep -v kdemod3
2) Issue a "pacman -Rs" on every package that shows up from step one.
If it pushes back at you telling you that one of those packages can't be uninstalled because it's a dependency for something else, then that'll tell you the reason why the kde4 packages got installed in the first place. At that point then you'll have to make the decision to uninstall whatever app it is that needed the kde4 packages.

OK, I think I got it: [10:58 archangel:/opt/kde] # ( IFS=$'\n'; for i in $(pacman -Q | grep kde | grep -v kdemod3); do echo "remove: ${i%%\ *}"; done ) remove: kdebase-runtime remove: kdelibs remove: kdemultimedia remove: kdesvn [10:58 archangel:/opt/kde] # ( IFS=$'\n'; for i in $(pacman -Q | grep kde | grep -v kdemod3); do pacman -Rs ${i%%\ *}; done ) checking dependencies... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: k9copy: requires kdebase-runtime :: kdemultimedia: requires kdebase-runtime checking dependencies... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: k3b: requires kdelibs :: kdebase-runtime: requires kdelibs :: kdemultimedia: requires kdelibs :: kdesvn: requires kdelibs :: kdiff3: requires kdelibs checking dependencies... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: k3b: requires kdemultimedia checking dependencies...
