Don't fallow the way of installing and removing software as it's usual in Windows when you don't know what to do.
Etch it's a bit old but if you have been successful in installing it on you PC, then it's just a matter of dist-upgrade to arrive to Sid. Beware of the warnings, of course. :)
Don't worry about /etc/modprobe.d/ XXXX, everybody is having the same. New version of module-init-tools is sending this warnings to DEVELOPERS, so don't change anything, just live with it until the developers take action. Actually it means nothing for your system.
To install KDE4 see these instructions:


http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/experimental.html


Remember, to force installation of experimental packages you must tell it to apt/aptitude with apt-get -t experimental install kde blah, blah, blah


Ciao
