I think you have to do a fresh install, but save your /home.

If I were you I'd first change to 64 bit hardy.  You want to deal with
only one difference at a time.  KDE under Intrepid is very different,
but if you stick to Hardy your .kde directory should work well.  Once
you have 64 bit working you can upgrade to Intrepid if you want.
