If the project is not yet standalone buildable, the CMakeLists.txt inside the
project has to be modified, eg find_package(KDE4 REQUIRED) has to be added.
For some projects this is already the case (eg. marble)

That also means with split repositories you can *not* go back in history and
build an old version.
Thats an downside of split.
However:
- how often did you need this in the past (given that svn has no bisect)?
- the svn repository is still available (and will stay afaik)
