Hmm, bug 161098[1] is related (but not exactly what I'm after) and has 
some background.

Apparently the color scheme storage method changed between versions.  
According to the bug, kde3 apps look in the [General] section of 
kdeglobals.  Where kde4 puts the info I'm not sure, tho I can probably 
find it (strace -eopen <app>|grep -v <noisypath> can be useful for 
that).  With luck, only the location changed, and the various settable 
components and format for the config remained the same.  If so, copying 
them over should be relatively easy.
