You might want to try using Debian Unstable/"sid" since it does contain 
kde 3.1.4 already. You will just need to modify the line that you have 
for stable and change it to unstable. In your case this will probably 
look like:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main

After you do an 'apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade', you will end 
up with a Debian Sid system and then 'do an apt-get install kde'.

Remember to look up:
http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?DebianKDE

That site has really good pointers on what to do to get KDE. It also 
lists how to get KDE if you want to use Stable itself instead of 
switching to sid.
