I propose the following workflow:

1. We import the source tree of KBreakout and KDiamond into two
scratch repos, without any history. The initial commit will also patch
the build system as required.
2. The students then push their work to these repos.
3. When kdegames is converted to Git, the students can easily move to
the new origin repositories using a three-point rebase. (I'm familiar
with this process and can post a detailed explanation once this
becomes relevant.

If this is okay for the students and the mentors, I'll go ahead and
create the required repos with the required build system patches.
