There's a bug in the way KDE4 is handled currently; I don't know what
the correct fix is, but my current hack involves some launchd actions
that create the necessary directories and symlinks thereto in
~/Library/Preferences/KDE.

    ln -s /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER $HOME/Library/Preferences/KDE/cache-$HOST
    ln -s $TMPDIR/ksocket-$USER $HOME/Library/Preferences/KDE/socket-$HOST
    ln -s $TMPDIR/kde-$USER $HOME/Library/Preferences/KDE/tmp-$HOST
