That's part of the plan I linked to. :-) Upstream wants to guarantee kdelibs 
parallel-installation without conflicts (and AFAIK they're there or almost 
there), so a complete compat-kdelibs3 should be possible (though unfortunately 
the -devel packages will have to conflict as usual for compat libraries), and 
much of kdebase 3 is also possible to ship in a compat-kdebase3: things like 
KControl modules, styles etc., but not the kdebase applications (konqueror, 
kwrite etc.) which would both conflict and be redundant with the KDE 4 
equivalents.

The idea is that the workspace (WM, desktop, taskbar) will come from KDE 4, but 
KDE 3 apps will still be usable.
