I just set this up. Here is exactly what I did.

0. Installed Debian, upgraded the KDE packages to 2.2.
1. Checked out KDE CVS HEAD source to $HOME/src/kde.
2. export QTDIR=$HOME/src/kde/qt-copy
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
3. Compiled qt-copy according to the instructions given.
4. Configured kdelibs, kdebase, etc. with --prefix=/opt/kde-cvs, built them, 
and installed there.
5. Commented out the line in /etc/kde2/kdm/kdm.options that says 
"generate-sessiontypes".
6. Add "kde-cvs" to the SessionTypes entry in /etc/kde2/kdm/kdmrc.
7. Create a script /usr/local/bin/kde-cvs with the following contents:

#!/bin/sh

QTDIR=/home/john/src/kde/qt-copy
KDEDIR=/opt/kde-cvs
PATH=$KDEDIR/bin:$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
MANPATH=$QTDIR/doc/man:$MANPATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

export QTDIR KDEDIR PATH MANPATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH

startkde

Now you should have a "kde-cvs" option in kdm, which starts up the CVS HEAD 
version of KDE. For more information on how this works, see the man pages for 
kdm.options and Xsession.

HTH,
John
