This is what worked for me on Gentoo/AMD64:

1. Export your KMail filters

2. Run in this sequence (taken from my bash history):

   Note:
      One thing that I'd suggest is before restarting 'akonadi' (line 45354 
      below) make sure 'virtuoso-t' is stopped and if it is not you can 
      properly shut it down with (read [1] first):

         45369  2012-01-03,11:51:27:  cat /tmp/virtuoso_T31639.ini | grep "Port"
         45370  2012-01-03,11:51:30:  isql-v -H localhost -S 1112 -U dba -P dba -K

   So here are the commands [2]:

      45348  2012-01-03,13:21:08:  akonadictl status
      45349  2012-01-03,13:21:10:  akonadictl stop
      45350  2012-01-03,13:21:53:  akonadictl status
      45351  2012-01-03,13:21:58:  qdbus org.kde.NepomukServer /nepomukserver org.kde.NepomukServer.quit
      45352  2012-01-03,13:23:06:  mv ~/.kde4/share/apps/nepomuk/ ~/temp/
      45353  2012-01-03,13:26:57:  akonadictl status
      45354  2012-01-03,13:27:01:  akonadictl start
    
3. Check you KMail filters, import if necessary.

4. Add a new Address Book pointing to your current file/directory [1]
