Also, inittab is recommended to start kdm and not rc.conf, ive seen some weird stuff fixed after people had switched.
Just throwing out some ideas while passing by :)
tested from initab and from xterm startkde = fails the same
tested to recompile the latest nvidia drivers using abs = fails the same
tested to start kde, list the process runing with ps axuf then kill processes one by one from bottom to top at some point after killing the 2 kbuildsyscoca4 and the kded4 and the kconf_update and a plasma_desktop (there was 2 running), the kde comes up, and seems fully functional. but if I clses session it never closes again cpu full with a new pair of kbuildsyscoca4 a kded and a plasma_desktop
and if I reboot and try to start it again, the same hunged processes, seems an endless loop
Thanks
Summary: installing the Nvidia oficial drivers by running the executable instead of using pacman fixed this error
