Along those techbase pages there's one (IIRC) that lists current status
and such things. Have a look at this page:
http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KDE_on_Windows

Especially "Techbase pages related to MS Windows port..."

"All" I think, I mean there are issues almost everywhere. Advocating my
own project: KDevelop4 would need help in a couple of places,
specifically porting the debugger code to win32 (problems expected for
the communication between kdevelop and gdb) and there's a dependecy in
the teamwork plugin that should be removed as its not portable. The
plugin depends on the CommonC++ library and the code that uses it needs
porting to Qt4 classes. For this a good understanding of how QShared*
and KShared* work is helpful.

We use kde's bugzilla, with the OS/Platform information set to MS
Windows.
