Short answer: Get rpms from the fedora repository at
kde-redhat.sourceforge.net. The rpms themselves are in
ftp://apt.us.kde-redhat.org/linux/kde-redhat/apt/fedora/2/RPMS.unstable/

Some advice: Never, ever, ever use the --nodeps flag with rpm. It should
only be used by experts in very rare situations. It isn't worth trying
to figure out what went wrong for you if you deliberately defeated rpm
with the --nodeps flag.
