Yes, all known problems:
1.  kdegraphics-devel conflicts with kde3 equivalents (libkipi-devel, 
libkexiv2-devel libkdcraw-devel)
2.  anything depending on kde-4.0.x's libplasma = missing deps
3.  anything depending on kdepim-3.5.x = missing deps

1.  we'd hope to solve somehow, not sure how yet

2,3: stuff with missing deps, you'll simply need to drop/omit manually 
before upgrading.

3 addendum: almost certainly, kdepim-4.x will be omitted from any 
official F-9 kde-4.1 update, so it will not have these problems.  I 
chose to include kdepim4 in unstable here.  An alternative worth 
exploring is creating some sort of compat kdepim3 pkg, to minimize dep 
breakage, but such a beast does not yet exist.
