If you're not sure how to tell if you've got the appropriate packages
installed, you may want to do a little learning about debian basics
before you go building & backporting packages.
Check out:

If you'd like to try compiling debian packages, KDE may not be the best
place to start. You might want to try some smaller, single binary
package. Also, I wouldn't start by trying to compile "the newest"
anything on stable. It's quite likely that you will run into a bunch of
dependancy problems and such that may be quite a chore to fix for a
beginner.
