I'm no expert on this so I'm probably missing something here, but I know
that with HAL being deprecated KDE, GNOME and XFCE have all switched to
udev/udisks to do this (and it works perfectly in my experience on
KDE4). Why not use udev in KDE3 as well?

Because there are only two backends there: the hal backend and the
mtab/fstab backend. The letter being universal and working on any Unix-like
system
(I think an udev backend would be Linux only).
