I think nobody will do it. And it is also not urgent as we have well working 
KDE3 currently. 

But if you want to promote Trinity wider OpenSUSE build service is excellent: 
it allows to build packages for OpenSUSE as well as Fedora, Mandriva and even 
Ubuntu. The sources can be automatically downloaded from SVN.

The only thing OpenSUSE people need less than anything is a build service :-)

There are many Qt3 and KDE3 applications which are unpackaged besides
Trinity. Also I doubt old spec files from KDE3 would fit for
Trinity: sometimes a package has hundreds of patches, for example, kdebase3
has 241 patch in OpenSUSE (and about 30 additional sources), which may be 
incompatible with Trinity.
