Don't know about KDE 4+ but if you liked KDE 3.5 then you might consider the Trinity Desktop Environment, based on my personal experience it runs great on Devuan. I've been using TDE since KDE 4 came out and Devuan for the last 3 months (upgraded from Debian Wheezy finally),
Installation of TDE on a clean Devaun install was a piece of cake. The only issues I've run into so far were all because I did the "Base" install of TDE to keep the disk image small. I've had to manually add some things like ksnapshot and kmix that would have been part of a default install because of it.

I liked KDE3.5 better than current KDEs. The problem is integration with other software, which works with current KDE, but didn't work when I tried Trinity. Since it used to work, my guess is the other software adapted itself to current KDE APIs. But it means that for me Trinity isn't a viable choice. (Mate, xfce, etc. do work, however. So the problem could have been with Trinity ... I tested this a couple of years ago, and they may well have fixed it.)
