Look for the part where it install kmail ;)

"cd log/latest/kdepim ; grep bin/kmail$ install.log"
says: -- Installing /d/kde/inst/kde4/bin/kmail

It updates a binary database of the installed desktop files (~/.kde/cache-$HOSTNAME/ksycoca4)
But I suspect your problem is a setup problem.
Are PATH, KDEDIRS, LD_LIBRARY_PATH all set to point to the kde4 prefix?
Can you launch e.g. karm, to try a simpler program?
Does "ktradertest --servicetype DCOP/Mailer" give one offer, kmail, or "0 offers"?

Are you using a separate user for kde4? Or a separate KDEHOME in your kde3 user?
Hmm in theory neither of those should be necessary, but I'm not sure how many
people are testing that at this point.
