To simplify matters, I'd write conversion rules for the monolithic module, 
then use git mv & co. to move and distribute these subdirectories you 
mentioned to the appropiate apps and libs and then use git-filter-branch to 
split off individual kdeedu subdirectories into their own repositories.

I think that's easier than writing svn2git rules for possibly every file in 
those shared subdirectories you mentioned.
