You could look in MCC under remove packages (alphabetical list button) and see what kde related packages you currently have installed. You'll need the qt and arts libs for sure, and probably find a few more. Then get those from Texstar's ibiblio. If you only get the ones you currently have installed, you should already have all dependencies covered, as they would have been installed originally with the kde stuff. I haven't found urpmi that reliable, but haven't really gotten into it and set it up correctly, as I only have dialup, and need to download packages individually. If I had broadband, I'd definitely give it a good try.
