That depends how many people work on it and work with it. If you want to do 
bugfixing or smaller improvements, you should stick to KDevelop 2, if you 
want to create something bigger you should give KDevelop 3 a try. Even if you 
work on KDevelop 2, your work won't be lost because most stuff can also be 
used for KDevelop 3.

You just hack the source files and then type
cvs diff -u3 -p >mypatch.for.kdevelop
Send the generated file to this mailing-list.
