Sorry, I don't have a clue why it does not work.
The kfile-plugins are normally within the kdemultimedia packages, the 
directory kfile-plugins is a subdirectory of kdemultimedia. Since you 
compiled from source, you can see the directory there. However I doubt the 
problem is that the kfile-plugins are not installed, since you said you tried 
different packages, even a self-compiled. If the 
file /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/kfile_mp3.so exists, everything is installed 
correctly. 

One more thing: Settings->Configure Konqueror->Previews & Meta-Data->Maximum 
file size has to be set at a sufficiently high value, for MP3 files at least 
5 MB are necessary.

Do you perhaps know since when it stopped working? Perhaps you know what you 
did change back then and can change it back.

Sorry, but I really can't help more.
