For example, how could I download the project for KMail, open it within KDevelop 3, change certain files, and recompile the project to produce a new binary.

what's the entry for kdevelop 3 in /etc/apt/sources.list?

if it's for example: deb http://kde.org/kdevelop3

then add this line

deb-src http://kde.org/kdevelop3

then 

apt-get update

then apt-get source kdevelop3
