Yes, you definitely can run kde4 apps on kde3.  Check out the techbase
article at
http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Increased_Productivity_in_KDE4_with_Scripts

The new cd function is really class, which automatically changes the
environment variables to that of KDE4 or kde3 based on the current
directory.

In short you need to set the following environment variables
appropriately to execute kde4 apps. (which the cd function
encapsulates)
