Already known - and fixed.

As Nathan says, this is already fixed in SVN trunk and it's been backported to 3.4 branch. As an example to those unfamiliar with SVN, to get and build kopete from SVN trunk you would:
svn checkout svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kde-common/admin (these are shared build scripts required to build KDE modules)
svn checkout -N svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdenetwork
(this checks out the first level of kdenetwork to give you the top level Makefile and other files required to build kopete)
cd kdenetwork ln -s ../kde-common/admin (put the build scripts where they're expected to be)
svn checkout svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdenetwork/kopete (check out kopete sources)
make -f Makefile.cvs ./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix` make
Then, as root or using sudo
make install
If this looks all to scary or complicated (SVN scares me too!) these fixes will ship with KDE 3.4.1 which should be coming soon.
