Well, I don't know about F18 release, but I installed F18 beta and assume that I have the same thing as F18 release since I've been updating.
The way I did it was pretty naive, perhaps, but it worked. I did the following:
1) Installed from the gnome CD.
2) Installed apper (which installed a bunch of kde stuff as
dependencies)
3) Used apper to search for KDE and then just hit "install" on a few basic kde packages and a few kde apps. Apper then decided that there were a zillion kde dependencies. I installed all of them.
I then googled on how to set it as my default (I forget which file I edited, but it was straightforward).
Ta daah!
Of course, doing it this way doesn't install *all* the kde-associated apps, but it got the desktop up. After that, I just went to apper again and clicked on all the kde stuff I wanted to add.

If I enter "switchdesk kde", I get a message saying to

Yum says that Group KDE does not exist.
Other than re-installing from the F18-Live-KDE CD, how
can I switch desktops?
Your question contains its own answer. As root, use yum to install KDE the
way the message tells
you to.
My message also contained the response from yum, that
Group KDE does not exist.
