I was exercising the principle widely known as Dotan's Razor: "A small
inaccuracy can save a lengthy explanation." It seems that in this case
I should have simply gone for the lengthy explanation, sorry. I was in
the wrong here.

It is possible, and if you do it right (your package manager should)
and leave the shared libraries intact, you will not loose the
functionality in Konqueror. I think that the PDF renderer is called
popler.

Because it hasn't changed in it's purpose, target audience, or it's
abilities. Some things are new in the Qt 4 version, some Qt 3 features
have not been implemented yet, but most of the features are still
there, and bugs on the rest are either being filed or worked on as we
speak.
