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).
udev is probably Linux only, but KDE4 and GNOME work on *BSD and other Unixes too. Why not just have kde3 use the same technologies as KDE4 and GNOME? On Linux that'd be udev, on other Unixes it'd be something else, eg. maybe devd on FreeBSD.
