I've been running KDE under Fedora using the special, more up-to-date
KDE rpms from the kde-redhat repo.  Seems better to me.
$ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/kde.repo

# kde.repo, v2.0

[kde]
name=kde
mirrorlist=http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/fedora/mirrors-stable
gpgkey=http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/kde-redhat.RPM-GPG-KEY
#gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-kde-redhat
enabled=1

[kde-all]
name=kde-all
mirrorlist=http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/all/stable/mirrors
gpgkey=http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/kde-redhat.RPM-GPG-KEY
#gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-kde-redhat
enabled=1

For more information, and the full repo info,

I don't run the kde-4 yet because it is still in their testing, but if
you are a gambler, I'd say go for it!
