It is not very clear what your problem is but I assume you are trying to
get KDE 3.x, in which case you need your sources list to point to
testing/sarge rather than stable:

deb ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/linux/debian/ sarge main non-free contrib
deb-src ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/linux/debian/ sarge main non-free 
contrib
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US sarge/non-US main contrib 
non-free
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US sarge/non-US main contrib 
non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main contrib non-free

Then do as root:

# aptitude update ( or apt-get update)

# aptitude upgrade ( or apt-get upgrade)

and then:

aptitude install kdm, kdebase, x-window-system-core

Clive
