Hi

I'm not sure if your have solved your problem or not, but here's an easy 
solution to kde upgrade problem with experimental packages:
step 1: launch aptitude, and manually upgrade everything but kde packages. 
In other words: at first, solve your dependencies problem that are outside 
of kde.
step 2: manually upgrade kde or just do aptitude full-upgrade.

(in aptitude you don't have to mark every package, just mark the package 
"category", and then refine if needed)

Using various experimental repositories, I have frequent unsolvable 
dependencies for aptitude, specially with large updates like new kde 
versions. I allways solve them like this.

bon courage
