The simple answer usually is the best.

Create a file called /etc/yum.repos.d/kde.repo and put this 
into it:

# kde.repo, v2.1
# For multilib support on x86_64, experimental.

[kde]
name=kde
mirrorlist=http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-
redhat/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/stable/mirrors
gpgkey=http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/kde-
redhat.RPM-GPG-KEY
#gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-kde-redhat
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1

[kde-testing]
name=kde-testing
mirrorlist=http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-
redhat/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/testing/mirrors
gpgkey=http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/kde-
redhat.RPM-GPG-KEY
#gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-kde-redhat
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1

[kde-unstable]
name=kde-unstable
mirrorlist=http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-
redhat/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/unstable/mirrors
gpgkey=http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/kde-
redhat.RPM-GPG-KEY
#gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-kde-redhat
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1

You might have to change the selinux context:

sudo restorecon -v '/etc/yum.repos.d/kde.repo'

Then run yum like this:

sudo yum --enablerepo=kde,kde-testing,kde-unstable update

---

Usually kde is empty, kde-testing has some less essential 
stuff or something (Rex knows what goes where and why), and 
kde-unstable has the bleeding edge stuff, like kde4.3, that 
will eventually make it to fedora updates-testing.

I have used these repos since years and there is rarely a 
problem (and even then, only a day or two, as others are also 
actively using these repos), especially now that kde4 is so 
mature. It is a way of getting stuff that they don't want to 
put into fedora right away, for whatever reason.
