There is a much more straight forward solution:
Get the sources and compile them yourself (support, libs, base (the 
rest in any order)). This requires a pretty fat developers installation of 
Debian, but it definitely pays off since dependecy problems are virtually 
blown away. (they come back in a more digestible format when trying to start 
KDE for the first time...)
This also has the benefit (?) of getting the installation into the 
/usr/local/ tree (same as QT) instead of the RedHatian /opt/ tree.
