Use the KDE-Redhat repository; see kde-redhat.sourceforge.net.  Note that 
KDE-Redhat does a forklift upgrade of KDE and will change a large number of 
packages; this may or may not be desireable for you.  I have used and 
currently use KDE-RedHat with several CentOS 4 installs, to get KStars for us 
to do telescope control.

The KDE in CentOS 4 is quite old, and kstars has improved by leaps and bounds 
since then.
