I don't know about the status of a KDE PIM, but if Evolution suits your 
needs, why don't you run it from the KDE environment??  Unless your 
version absolutely requires GNOME for some reason that I am not aware 
of, it should run under KDE.  GNOME and KDE have been working at getting 
their apps to run under either environment for over a year now, and most 
that I have tested out here do so.

I have installed the Evolution version from Debian here and I can access 
it from KDE 2.2.2 just fine.  It is on the menu under "Applications" --> 
"Debian" --> "Net".  Althought I have not tested it extensively, it 
appears to work fine here.

Just a thought...
