 I think it is still possible to build kde4 without 
 akonadi/nepomuk/strigi.
 the result, however, would be quite useless: no kdepim (which relies 
 entirely
 on akonadi now), missing basic functionality all over the place 
 elsewhere.
 so, not a viable option.
 looking at kde forums/lists gives the impression, that akonadi/nepomuk 
 and kdepim
 have reached a usable state now (from 4.9.x), with nearly all features 
 that were present in 3.5.10.
 even address completion in email composer has been reported to work 
 now,
 provided nepomuk running correctly and already having indexed 
 everything :)
 I plan to give it a go during the next weeks and write a short 
 conclusion.
