apt-get install xserver-xfree86 xserver-common kdelibs4 kdelibs libarts1 kdebase kdm should get most of what you need any you would want to install the fonts.

Code:

[HappyTux:/home/stephen]# COLUMNS=125 dpkg -l | grep xserver

ii  xserver-common            4.3.0.dfsg.1-4            files and utilities common to all X servers

ii  xserver-xfree86          4.3.0.dfsg.1-4            the XFree86 X server

[HappyTux:/home/stephen]# COLUMNS=125 dpkg -l | grep xfonts

ii  xfonts-100dpi            4.3.0.dfsg.1-4            100 dpi fonts for X

ii  xfonts-100dpi-transcoded  4.3.0.dfsg.1-4            100 dpi fonts for X (transcoded from ISO 10646-1)

ii  xfonts-75dpi              4.3.0.dfsg.1-4            75 dpi fonts for X

ii  xfonts-75dpi-transcoded  4.3.0.dfsg.1-4            75 dpi fonts for X (transcoded from ISO 10646-1)

ii  xfonts-base              4.3.0.dfsg.1-4            standard fonts for X

ii  xfonts-base-transcoded    4.3.0.dfsg.1-4            standard fonts for X (transcoded from ISO 10646-1)

ii  xfonts-konsole            3.2.92-1                  Fonts used by the KDE Konsole

ii  xfonts-scalable          4.3.0.dfsg.1-4            scalable fonts for X

ii  xfonts-scalable-nonfree  4.2.0-2                  non-free Type1 and TrueType fonts from XFree86

Then you need to pull in the parts of KDE you want it can be a little tricky doing it the way you want sometimes you end up leaving out some stupid little package you never knew you needed. Here is what I have installed.

And make sure that you end up with kicker installed as well or you will have no way to access the menus and you will most likely want to have konqueror, ksplash and kmail. And if you do not want the whole of the KDE multimedia packages installed then skip that package and just install the apps that you want like the kmix, kscd ...
