I don't think this is a good idea.
On RedHat distribution you got this foolish system (of course binary 
packages).
You don't know which application is in the normal kde distribution or just a 
plain application like whatever.

If you see kde as one complete desktop enviroment, then you let kde as is 
(compiling all applications in one package the same time), there aren't a lot 
of patches for kde in the last few months, so we can live with it as is.
