In fact, there was a KDE in tumbleweed some time ago - I still have a
machine running which has this (this time i586):

And tadaa - there indeed was a libqt4-x11

All of that obviously got removed from tumbleweed - I do not know when.

Maybe that still was there when k3b / kaffeine from packman got built.

What could be done against that? Some hacky logic ala look if packages
vanished from tumbleweed and if so rebuild everything that depends?!
