I know this problem :-) I suppose this is KDE3.
The second time, I was fed up with this dependency problem, and each time
I use dselect, I make a backup of /var/lib/dpkg/status to make a rollback
if I forget to type Ctrl-X when dselect suggests to get rid of half of
the system (dselect is not very good for a mix of woody, sarge and
sid...)
cp /var/lib/dpkg/status /mnt/bak/sys/status.`date +%F-%X`

If I suppose you want KDE3 from Sid, you can force apt to install
everything by taking its dependencies in Sid too :
apt-get install -t unstable kde/unstable (same for other packages)
But I suppose it will ask you to remove the package which was the cause
of the problem.
