Yes, I've been doing it since KDE b2.  It's kind of flaky right now,
IMHO.  Upgrading Qt to use new KDE apps usually breaks KDE for me, so I
play it conservative, and wait for new releases of KDE to upgrade Qt. 
Right now, you're probably best off trying to build Qt, then KDE,
yourself.  There are all kinds of imcompatibilities between KDE 1.0, Qt
1.3x, and 1.4x, so with the RPMs out there, I'd say you're unlikely to
get a good install.  There's a new version due this month (according to
the rumor mill), so if you have problems (as I did), you can just wait a
couple of weeks and try again.  I originally had a successful RPM
install of KDE 1.0 against Qt 1.31, but upgrading to Qt 1.32 broke KDE,
upgrading to Qt 1.33 fixed KDE but broke KDE apps, and upgrading to Qt
1.41 breaks everything. (Hope I got all of those versions right....)

Enjoy! ;-)
