kde1-compat.

Not sure... I wouldn't bet on that.

IMHO you should ask RedHat to do something similar. I'm surprised
they haven't, there are many kde 1 apps that are not ported to kde2 yet.

See http://www.kde.org/kde1-and-kde2.html for how to run two different
versions of KDE at the same time (you only need to install them in different
prefixes and switch between the two...). Not easy if all packages you can get
install kde in /usr :(

PS: this is really off topic for kde2-porting, which is about PORTING applications
to KDE 2.
