I doubt I'd try it, but what about the same question for /var?
For homes one recommended option is to have separate relatively small home partitions on each system and larger shared partition with all "real" user stuff (Documents, Downloads, Pictures and so on). Then soft-link these directories to /home of each system. As far as systems are different Open SuSE versions, it works fine. If you have other system (e.g. Kubuntu) that allocates user and group IDs differently it might be more tricky.
IIRC, kde3 stuff is under ~/.kde and kde4 stuff is under ~/.kde4. Nonetheless I would suggest you back up the respective .kde dirs before you switch your desktop between KDE3 <> KDE4.
/var is interesting one... e.g. /var/logs, /var/admin, /var/cache... I wouldn't try it either.
