Perhaps I'm misreading, but based on the output it's not Firefox pulling
in KDE, but rather it appears to me that you have kdebase already
installed and the new kdebase in pulling in additional dependencies.
See the output:

--> Running transaction check
---> Package kdebase.i386 6:3.5.4-21.el5_5.1 set to be updated

Notice it says kdebase is "set to be updated" not "set to be installed".
That indicates that "kdebase" is already installed.  If you don't want
KDE at all then remove kdebase and then run the update.

I have no problem installing firefox-3.6.4, either 32 or 64 bit, on my
RHEL5 systems without KDE.

Later,
Tom
