How about using the yum groupinstall/grouplist stuff? If you use 'yum 
grouplist' you'll see a couple of groups that might be of interest:
KDE (K Desktop Environment)
KDE Software Development
I am presuming you would want the first of the two, so you would use 
something like:

yum groupinstall "KDE (K Desktop Environment)"

On my system it picked up 11 different packages to install:
