Ok. I just had a look if I could get rid of kde3 and maybe even qt3: I 
have no problem getting rid of desktopbsd-tools-1.6_5 and kphone-4.2_5. 
k9copy-1.0.4_7, kaffeine-0.8.7_7, and koctave-0.70_4 can be replaced 
with multimedia/k9copy-kde4, multimedia/kaffeine-devel, and 
math/qtoctave, I guess. I have found nothing to replace 
kmastermind-2.2_6 and pdfedit-0.4.1_5, but they are not important. That 
leaves k3b-1.0.5_5 and twinkle-1.4.2_4: For k3b, there is an qt4 alpha, 
but no port of it. Twinkle is really the only SIP phone that works for 
me (I have not really checked recently) -- there is no qt4 port, yet.

I need kdelibs3 as long there is no k3b replacement and qt3 as long as 
Twinkle is not ported to qt4. I guess I could get rid of all the other 
kde3 ports.

I tried to build deskutils/kdepimlibs4 patched, but I only got:

Yeah, that is the point. I am starting to doubt if investigating port 
builds in a dirty environment is really worse it.

Thanks for your help. I will continue to report kde4 build failures with 
kde3 installed as long as you do not tell me that you got tired of 
fixing these.
