As of 2.6.37-rc1-170-gf6614b7, the problem remains.  Reverting
44437579efca258e3c4a09f59838c8f933611990, X/KDE (now kde 4.5.3 and xorg-server
1.9.2) runs.  With the straight Linus kernel, it freezes just as the desktop
appears.

One thing I'm not sure I've mentioned that might or might not help.  kwin
checks for supported OpenGL and (with the revert above, of course, as otherwise
it crashes before I get to that stage) turns effects off initially.  I have to
use the assigned effects toggle hotkey to turn them on.  This is apparently a
known issue with the xorg/kernel-native radeon driver at this point, with kwin
playing it safe by turning them off to begin with if it's not sure.  But
effects work in general (with the occasional non-fatal bug, the invert effect
simply turns everything white, instead of color-inverting like I believe it's
supposed to do, for instance, but it's a nice effect if I want a bit more light
without having to reach for the light switch =:^), once I turn them on.
