ah, the issue is that you're on 10.3 or older and you didn't add KDE:KDE3 
buildservice respository for updating your KDE3 to a state where it doesn't 
conflict with KDE4. It is unfortunate that your package installer didn't warn 
you of the file conflicts. 

Those things are all fixed with 11.0, but for older distros you must upgrade 
to the newer kde3 packages provided via the buildservice repository otherwise 
installing kde4 will indeed shredder your kde3 installation due to kde4 
overwriting files vital files of kde3. 

adding the KDE:KDE3 repository will repair things again. 

Greetings,
Dirk
