Once the selected packages have been upgraded to experimental, the following 
line might be useful for the subsequent upgrades:

aptitude --target-release experimental install "?narrow(?installed, ?and(?
archive(experimental), ?maintainer(debian-qt-kde@lists.debian.org)))"

I can hardly say if it works well, because my system was already up to date.

Maybe it's an overkill, but the possibility to further select packages by the 
maintainer, and therefore easily narrowing to kde-qt packages, seems a good 
idea.
