Well,
So far kde4 will not even install. After starting the install last night and going to bed. I woke to thousands of lines of:

Evidently kde4 saw and conflict with the kde3 packages and didn't install anything. The last line of the output was:
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
Talk about a bummer.... What does the brain-trust suggest?
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
