Hey, what do you know, you were right!  KDE3 needed more swap space.  I 
couldn't believe 256Meg of swap on system with 128 Meg isn't enough to compile 
KDE3.  I increased my swap size to 512Meg and kdelibs3 compiled and installed 
overnight.  Now it's compiling kdebsae3.  I've used top to check on swap usage 
previously when I only had 256Meg of swap but it showed swap was hardly being 
used at all (nevertheless, kdelibs3 failed always 3 times on 3 different days, 
with 3 fresh reinstalls of NetBSD).  I guess top is not the program to monitor 
how much swap is actually being used?  The system I'm compiling now is on 
i386, NetBSD 1.6B.  Thanks.
