I can't help with that, but there are instructions for runinng KDE 3.5
and the latest KDE 4 on 8.10 instead.   Instructions are here:

I've been KDE3 on three 8.10 systems and it works well.  I haven't
tried the KDE4 installs.

Hmm, looks like the KDE3 repository for 8.10 servers are down right
now.  Don't know when they'll be back.  Soon, I hope.
