I just posted the Recipe for KDE-Multimedia 4.0.1. It should be 
available shortly. Other 4.0.1 updates  are in progress :)

To compile correctly KDE 4 you have to Disable all KDE 3 packages. If 
you didn't do that, do a SymlinkProgram against KDE 4 packages after 
removing KDE 3 ones.
Xorg integration comes with KDE-Base-Workspace.

You can obtain a minimal working KDE 4 installation by installing the 
following packages in the order I list them:
- KDE-Libs
- KDE-PIM-Libs
- KDE-Base
- KDE-Base-Runtime
- KDE-Base-Workspace
- KDE-Base-Artwork (if you want all icons)
