With the system up and running you can use your preferred package
manager to install the "kde" metapackage. This will automatically pull
in all the KDE components. Install the "kdm" package as well if you want
a graphical log-in screen. (Do not hesitate to ask for further
clarifications about this procedure if necessary.)
At install time you can type something like
install tasks="kde-desktop, standard"
or
installgui tasks="kde-desktop, standard"
at the boot prompt to get KDE directly. (I hope I remember these
commands correctly; have a look at the installer documentation if this
does not work.)
