The original error is the ['/usr/share/qt3/lib'] - should just be 
'/usr/share/qt3/lib' (remove the outer [] in lines 605 and 607, 
but it seems to be working now anyway).

There are two problems here: the first is that the snapshot uses 
a different sip directory structure (one subdir per module, 
rather than all modules in a single subdir); the second is worse 
- PyKDE won't build with this version of PyQt (it needs PyQt AND 
sip 3.8.x)

The best alternative at this point is to wait for the next PyKDE 
release, which won't have as screwed up a build system, and will 
support any released KDE 3.x.x through 3.2.0. I'm hoping that 
won't be much more than a week, although I'm getting some really 
weird problems at the moment. That will also require a new 
sip/PyQt version (the current 20040211 snapshot will work or 
3.10.1 if that's released by then).

Sorry for the problems - PyKDE 3.8 turned out to be a real mess 
to install. Better things are in the works.
