Isn't KDE 3 about to be axed? Maybe this is just extra incentive for
you to transition to KDE 4. :)

Maybe, I am not saying that it'll work but it is worth a try, you can
send an e-mail to the kde team and ask nicely to have the needed
version of ortp included in the kde-sunset overlay? If it is a package
that is necessary for KDE 3 to work, and if they are already going
through the trouble of providing a sunset overlay, maybe it is not too
much to ask they also provide the e-builds for the supporting
libraries. 

Cheers,
