KUniqueApplication reads the environment variables DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS and DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID.  Are these variables set in your KDE session?  Is there a dbus-daemon running as you?  You might try launching your own session bus locally and then running your KDE4 kopete.

eg
$ (do whatever is needed to set up your KDE4 environment)
$ eval `dbus-launch` 
(this sets the above variables)
$ kopete
