FWIW: at some point I surely went through the KDE3->KDE4 move (on
Fedora) and I do not recall it ever affecting me. I keep /home on a
separate partition, so when I upgrade the system it remains intact.
Since I don't recall doing anything specific I suspect that either no
directory names needed to be changed or the update took care of
everything. I don't see any ~/.kde{3,4} directories on any of my
machines (on 4.4.{2,3} now), so everything was transparent (and I
don't recall anything breaking in KDE).

Of course, maybe it is just thanks to some RedHat/Fedora sorcery, but
chances are KDE took care of it.

Why not backup your new ~/.kde{,4}, move the old ~/.kde over, start
KDE and see what happens?
