Anyone who wants to can establish their own repository for back-ported KDE
packages. KDE has a good history of having people do that, at times there
have been 3 or more back-port repositories of KDE.
Just because something isn't in the main Debian distribution doesn't mean you
can't use it! As long as a reasonably recent version of KDE is in stable you
won't have any big problems as all the dependencies will be installed.

Are there any big features you expect from KDE 3.2?
If given a choice between a KDE release that's stable, solid, and reliable and
a bleeding edge release that gives SEGV's on critical programs such as
Konsole and has font problems I would choose the stable release every time.
KDE 1.x was quite usable, while many of the beta releases in the 2.x and
early 3.x series weren't...
