You will need to either disable or remove exim4.  Two programs may not
listen on TCP port 25 at once.

You are installing using the Debian packages, not the OpenPkg packages.
Unless something has changed recently, this is not the supported method
right now -- though it may be in the future.  When I install Kolab, I use
the OpenPkg -- not because I like OpenPkg but because it's what the Kolab
community supports.  

As described here:

http://kolab.org/download.html

It's here:

http://files.kolab.org/server/release/kolab-server-2.3.2/ix86-debian6.0/1st.README

and the installer is here:

http://files.kolab.org/server/release/kolab-server-2.3.2/ix86-debian6.0/install-kolab.sh

By all means soldier on with the Debian Packages, but just be aware that
this is not the supported method to install kolab (yet).
