ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.5.10/ sources are still available on 
official mirror. Probably 
depends on your defenition of "supported"...

Well one idea is that all kde4 needs qt-x11 (qt3) which i don't think is 
still supported by 
upstream...

I totaly agree with you. Not sure that any of the SMGL developers is 
"supporting" kde3. 
Acctually we don't even know if still builds. Did anybody tried to compile 
kde3 in last year 
?

Not sure both kdelibs3 and kdelibs4 can be both installed in /. Now I think 
those 2 can 
coexist since kdelibs4 is installed in /opt/kde4...
