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).
