No, Derek is correct. Ubuntu is LTS and that means the Gnome parts will 
be as well. Kubuntu is not so the KDE parts will not be updated post 18 
months. However all security etc. and other non-KDE apps (OpenOffice.org 
as an example) will be maintained for the full LTS period.

It will make no difference whatsoever HOW you choose to install KDE on 
8.04, the LTS part will still not apply to the KDE apps.
