So I need to watch a 6 week kitten for a friend, and she won't be able to pick it up until the kitten is 4-5 months old. It's a long and complicated story..

So I already have a 5 month and 7 month kitten in my 750 sq foot apartment. They get along okay. They sometimes sleep together, though that's becoming rarer I think. And they'll sometimes fight and bite each other a bit too hard. Older one is a female, younger male. The 6 week kitten I would pick up on Friday is a female. Would this cause problems? Do you think my two other kittens could potentially get attached and would get depressed when the 4 month kitten have to leave?

It might be the other way around, your two will still have each other but the new kitty will be undergoing a lot of changes. Cats are resilient, however.
You are very generous to do this! I guess, just be sure your two don't gang up on the youngster...
