Oh, if you have already done the upgrade and are happy with it, it would
involve quite a lot of extra work and the potential of meta data loss, if
not being very careful.
You could wait till Debian maintainers ship KDE SC 4.10 packages including
KDE PIM 4.10, but then likely you would have to run Sid until Wheezy + 1,
unless there will be backports.
You could also try to compile KDEPIM 4.10 from source as detailed in
building KDE software from git.kde.org the easy way

and start it with a shell script that sets from environment variables and
paths beforehand while using the rest from packages.
