apt-get install kdebase enlightenment

for "enlightenment" you can put sawfish, icewm, or whatever your favorite 
K-aware wm is -- I like enlightenment because I already have scads of themes
for it.  Which reminds me, you can also get kde-theme-* deb's too.  See 
aptitude or console-apt for a good listing... and in case you haven't heard
of those, they are packages too.  (In later versions, you may need to fetch
the package name "deity" instead of "console-apt".)
