You will not see an /usr/kde/4.x unless you have USE=kdeprefix. Since 4.x,
kde by default is installed on your regular system prefix, instead of
creating his own. So your kde binaries will usually live in /usr/bin, and
each component will go to the right place just like for any other package.

I have no experience mixing branches of kde. As long as you have the 4.x
version of kdebase-startkde you should have a way to start kde4, how to do
it will depend no how do you start X. You seem to use kdm, I can't really
help with that because I don't use a DM. If you use startx from command
line it's just a matter of using the correct binary on your ~/.xinitrc, in
this case /usr/bin/startkde if I am not mistaken.
