I doubt it would work, as the libraries would be on the external drive
too, and probably not in the library path. You would have to add
these to the ldconfig paths.
Unfortunately, some distributions not longer support much of the KDE
3.5 series, and if you are running these distributions, then you have
very little chance of getting it going.
The best method, would be to compile from source. Pretty much all
distributions still provide QT3, so install this, and any other
dependancies (libraries, etc) that are needed using your package
manager (they are probably already installed), and grab the various
archives from http://www.kde.org/info/3.5.10.php.
Installation from source is not too bad, however can be daunting for
the first time.
There are a few articles on the KDE Techbase (which is for developers,
but users can benefit too):
Building KDE 3 (a bit old, and references 3.5.9, so just replace with
3.5.10)
http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/Stable_Version
Coexisting Versions (quite old, but probably covers a fair bit on how
to run an older kde in it's own directory)
http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/Coexisting_Versions
I have not been running KDE much for a while, or using Quanta (work
provided a MacBook Pro, so using that for now), however I do touch
base in a Virtual Machine environment, and have plans to get involved
again at some stage. I hope this helps out, and if not, please do not
hesitate to consult the list on where you are stuck.
