i understand that you are trying to install from deb files, not form source.
cd into the directory containing the kde deb files, and write :
dpkg -i *
optionaly, make sure you've added the correct source to your sources.list file
(with the correct format as well) and do :
apt-get update
then :
apt-get install kdelibs
all the base kde packages will be automaticly added.
you can choose later on which packages you want to add to teh base one's, and
install them as well.
