I'm not sure if you can install it without adding (at least temporarily) to your repositories. You may need to have to have either backports or squeeze, to install some kde 4 libraries, if you wanted to install kvpm from source. I myself have Lenny, but decided to upgrade k9copy to the squeeze version; so, now k9copy indicates that it's a part of kde 4, while the other couple of kde programs I have (like kolour-paint and k3b) indicate that they are a part of kde 3.5. I don't actually use kde -- I use fluxbox -- but since I have a couple of kde programs, I also have some of the kde libraries installed (from both stable and testing).
It probably isn't worth the effort to do it, though, and I'm not sure how it would affect a system that is primarily kde.
Regarding if you can find out the dependencies, when you initially configure the source program (as regular user) it will tell you if anything was required for the compilation. As well,
this site here states you require the following:
The following development headers need to be
installed for compilation:
libparted version 1.8 -- available in Lenny
libblkid-dev (could try the
Lenny version, though you'll likely need the
squeeze version)
kdelibs version 4 --
Lenny version, or
squeeze version.
So, everything the site mentions that is needed for compiling the program is available in Lenny (that being, kdelibs4-dev, libblkid-dev, and libparted1.8-dev). Now, it may require newer versions of these packages than are available in Lenny, but in that case you could always try an earlier version of kvpm. I would say give it a try, and see if you can do it with the packages currently available in Lenny -- it may work. lvm2 for Lenny is sufficient, apparently (2.02-39); so, really, I can't see why, at this point, that it wouldn't work just using Lenny repositories.
Various choices are available
here for the source.
