XDM, KDM and GDM are each capable of letting you log in to Gnome, KDE,
XFCE, Openbox or whatever you pick.

Most of the reason they come with their own is because in order to have
a complete desktop environment you need a display manager, not because
there's anything peculiar about KDE's requirements for a display
manager that Gnome's or X's can't provide.
