I just found about about the x11vnc program. I was under the impression
that all VNC servers would open another display, so I could not clone
the already running KDE desktop. But this is wrong, x11vnc does this
under *nix, and just works great.
So I created .kde4/Autostart/x11vnc:
#!/bin/bash
x11vnc -usepw -display $DISPLAY
Use x11vnc -storepasswd to create ~/.vnx/passwd if you don't have one
yet. Ta-daah, now you can use any VNC client to connect to your KDE session.
