You don't need KDE 3.* any more, digikam can be built on KDE 4. It seems that documentation needs update.
Look at the official digikam page to get updated informations and more details on how to build digikam: 
http://www.digikam.org/

I don't know how is safe to build from SVN (maybe at the moment it is, but just I don't know), but to go on the safe way you can install digikam from the latest source tarball, from here:
http://www.digikam.org/drupal/download

Please note that to build latest digikam you don't have to do the old ./configure && make && make install, but you should run cmake, as explained here:
http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/CMake
And then go for the usual make && make install.

I hope my answer is helpful, anyway other people around here can give you better answer, if needed.
