unfortunatelly, no. Synaptic has a hisrtory under File menu and you can
see there what you've installed and manually select them all and
uninstall.

For future reference, such a thing is possible using aptitude, but only
if used both for installing and uninstalling. So if you sudo aptitude
install package_x and it will ask to also install some dependencies,
when you later sudo uninstall package_x it will also uninstall the not
needed dependencies tht came with the package

Alternatively, just uninstall you kde app and then use deborphan to
uninstall the rest with a command like:

sudo apt-get remove `deborphan`

Or install GTKorphan, which is a nice GUI to deborphan.
