So why don't you just use KNotify to run a script that checks via dcop if your 
screensaver is active, if it is, then use KDialog to issue an alert. Took me 
like 2 mins to write:

#!/bin/sh

MSG=$1
CONTACT=${MSG#incoming message from}

if [ `dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface isEnabled` == "false" ]; then
        msg="%e";
        kdialog --title "Kopete - New Message" --yesno "$MSG \nDo you want to 
respond?";

        if [ "?" == "0" ]; then
                dcop kopete KopeteIface messageContact `kdialog --title 
"Kopete-New message" --inputbox "Enter your message:" "Hi, $CONTACT"` \;
        fi
fi
