I agree.

From the experience with my last trial for doing it I guess it will take a lot 
longer than one hour.

We can probably prepare for it though, e.g. checking how other projects in 
kdesupport find their dependencies or replace CMake macros from KDE with 
local copies.

Should be do the org.kde -> org.freedesktop namechange before or after the 
move?

Yeah, that would be great!

Probably at least something like:

kdesupport/akonadi/cmake
kdesupport/akonadi/interfaces
kdesupport/akonadi/server

The question is whether the shared library should be in ./lib or in ./server

I don't think we need to do that.
Distributions with policies for huge packages will create one kdepim package 
as usual, distributions with fine grained packages will quite likely create 
packages for each single program with suitable dependencies.

Cheers,
Kevin
