Later on, let's say in 5 years, if you want to build KDE 4.2 for whatever 
reasons, you will also need the packages from kdesupport in appropriate 
versions. Having the stuff from kdesupport tagged should do it.
(I had problems with this last year when I was trying to build some very old 
version of KDE, and failed due to kdesupport).
