Is there no easy way to get all these keys installed in /etc/yum.repos.d other than gpgcheck=0 ?
That isn't a good idea.

(9/9): kdelibs-3.5.7-8.fc 100% |=========================|  18 MB    01:45    warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID ff6382fa

GPG key retrieval failed: [Errno 5] OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/kde-redhat.RPM-GPG-KEY'
{If you are on F7, you should find fairly up2date kde packages within the normal fedora {everything} respository.}

Else, you could apply a commandline option to your yum command. find it by typing yum in a terminal prompt {..gpg..}. You want to be extremely sure that that package you are installing is what it appears to be.

My approach is to have /etc/yum.conf have keepcache=1, then try to yum install a package - this gets the package downloaded to the yum cache.
Then use rpm to install it: rpm -Uvh  /var/cache/yum/......

For the one you are seeing, I imagine you might have installed a kde-redhat-release style of package. This has extracted the repo's gpg key into /etc/pki, but has not installed it into the rpm database. This is done with: rpm --import /path/to/key/file

btw you can list installed keys with:
rpm -qai gpg\*

This is F-7 barely 24 hours since install from DVD and everything seems to work without much effort except for this problem.  I use XFCE and I may not have told it to install KDE, only Gnome?  I will check on that later.  But perhaps that's why I didn't get the KDE key which was needed to install K3B this morning via yum?

The /etc/yum.repo.d file I used I copied from another F-7 installation but it may have been originally from FC-6, I'm losing track of what I've been doing.  Most of my time for the last day has been spent getting things configured and this was the first problem with yum.

I will try the things you suggest  ...

Thanks.
