Yes, you won't get a newer version of KDE from Redhat, however, if you are 
adventourous, there is a KDE-Redhat project that has newer version of KDE 
package for Redhat (including RHEL 3):
http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/

**WARNING**: if you install KDE from this, your it will *not* be supported by 
Redhat. Redhat will not supply you with any security patch or anything like 
that for this. So basically you're on your own, or dependent to the 
KDE-Redhat project to get updates, security fix, etc.
