I think there are 2 problems:

i. You're missing the QT 3.0.4 libraries, which were supplied with the Mandrake KDE 
3.0.0 update but are wrongly missing from - at least - the UK mirror of the 3.0.1 
distribution I access. (The giveaway here is the 'libqt...' references).

ii. Your urpmi database may be out of date, which can confuse things and lead to 
spurious errors.

So:

i. Get these from rpmfind and put them in the same directory as the KDE 3.0.1 RPMs:

libqt3-3.0.4-1mdk.i586.rpm
libqt3-devel-3.0.4-1mdk.i586.rpm

ii. Log in as root and then type

urpmi.update <name>
urpmi *

where <name> is the short name you gave to the KDE 3.0.1 directory on urpmi.addmedia.

Things should be a lot closer thereafter, and what I've suggested may clear up the 
libSDL and xanim dependencies which could be spurious.
