Why don't you use garnome to install KDE3.0. Its for both GNOME2.0 and KDE3.0. It resolves the problem of dependencies. But It takes a lot of space and time. Because it downloads the complete source of Packages and compile it.
regards
Look at the names in the leftmost column, and you can figure out.
Xconfigurator, gimp, initscripts, openldap, xsane, sane, openssl, mozilla, XFree86-devel ...
Install the above and then try again. Your "error list" should be smaller.

Use http://rpmfind.net/ to look for correct packages.
For example:
libXft.so.1 is needed by PyQt-3.1-1
Search for "libXft.so" on rpmfind, and it will give you a list of the correct packages.
One useful tip:
Quite often, packages install shared object (.so) files with names ending in some number, like the one above. But other programs may look for names without that number, for example "libXft.so".
Wherever the file is present, create an appropriate symlink with the name without the number, if it doesn't exist.
# ln -s libXft.so.1 libXft.so
Now if any package lists libXft.so as a dependency, you can safely ignore that package with the --nodeps flag, but make sure the package has no other unresolved dependencies when you use this flag.
Note that the names used above are just examples, this problem may occur in only a few pacakages.
