Not a wonderful solution but try this:

   $ aptitude search -F "%p" ~i | grep "\-trinity[ \t]*$" | sed 
"s;\-trinity;;"

It should give the list of every installed trinity package on whose the 
suffix '-trinity' in their names are removed.

Then, you should be able to remove every kde4 packages that matches
trinity installed ones (e.g., konqueror removed if konqueror-trinity is
installed):

   # aptitude remove $(aptitude search -F "%p" ~i | grep "\-trinity[ 
\t]*$" | sed "s;\-trinity;;")

this is not perfect since it won't remove every kde4 packages, but it 
will remove conflicting apps.

After this is done (you may have struggled a little with dependencies),
you could try:

   # aptitude remove ~g

to remove every packaged that are not required by any manually installed
package.  Now, you shouldn't have a lot of remaining kde4 packages.
