quoting from:

http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Set_up_KDE_4_for_development#Solitary_KDE_4_session

"If you are using KDM (or a compatible login manager) this is done by creating 
a .desktop file in either `kde-config --prefix`/share/apps/kdm/sessions/ or 
in /usr/share/xsessions/. The easiest thing to do is to copy an existing 
kde.desktop file and name it kde4.desktop. Open this new .desktop file in a 
text editor and change the Exec, TryExec and Name entries to look something 
like this: 

Exec=$HOME/kde/bin/startkde
TryExec=$HOME/kde/bin/startkde
Name=KDE4

Replace $HOME/kde in the example above with the prefix you are installing KDE4 
into. 

After restarting the login manager (Alt+e in KDM) this new entry should appear 
in the sessions menu."
