Same here, always a question mark in KDE. My configuration:
[frederik@Jupiter frederik]$ locale
LANG=en
LC_CTYPE=en_BE@euro
LC_NUMERIC=en_BE@euro
LC_TIME=en_BE@euro
LC_COLLATE=en_BE@euro
LC_MONETARY=en_BE@euro
LC_MESSAGES=en_BE@euro
LC_PAPER="en"
LC_NAME="en"
LC_ADDRESS="en"
LC_TELEPHONE="en"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en"
LC_ALL=

And set to ISO-8859-15 in kcontrol.

Euro works in Evolution (¤) mail client, but in Pan I get that strange
sign which looks like a square with a diagonal line at each of the 4
corners.

And although I don't get a euro sign when pressing Alt-GR+E in a KDE
application, Konqueror renders the euro signs on the Mandrake homepage
perfectly.

Euro and Linux is not yet a perfect combination, it seems :-(
