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.
Yes, that was my point. :) Possibly doable, but impractical.
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.
The ongoing problems with kmail was one reason I never considered moving to KDE4. If those problems are (finally) resolved that does not mean I'll .... Please do share your conclusions after testing.
so, here is a first short writeup: http://www.hoernerfranzracing.de/php/wordpress/?p=397
