Add the following two lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list -
deb http://people.fsn.hu/~pasztor/debian woody xfree
deb ftp://download.us.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.1.3/Debian woody main
Do an apt-get update. Then install/update your XFree packages (i.e.
xfree86-common, xserver-xfree86, etc.).
An apt-get install kdm or kdebase should get you most of the important kde
packages.
