Kde4 ports are supposed to build with qt3, kdelibs3 and kdebase3 at least on 
8-STABLE (probably, I should add "at least on my box" :). I still have one 
kde3 dependent port, so until it gets ported to kde4 I try to maintain 
compatibility. After then I think we start deprecating kde3 and qt3 ports, 
cause I'm the last from kde@, who is interested in kde3 ports.

Sorry, missed your mail. Please test the patch attached. Apply it to 
deskutils/kdepimlibs4, rebuild kdepimlibs4 and build kdenetwork4.

Of course patches are welcome :)

Tinderbox has one drawback -- it does not allow to test ports in "dirty" 
environment :)
