If you are compiling from source, then this should give you a good hint:

http://www.kde.org/install-source.html

If you are installing from binaries, then no, there isn't.  Each vendor is 
free to package KDE in whatever way they see fit so some have dependencies 
that others don't.

The package policy, though, is to have it so *all* dependencies can be 
satisfied either with packages on ftp.kde.org or on the CD-ROMs.  You should 
*never* have to go anywhere else to satisfy a KDE dep.  Although, I have 
heard rumors that Mandrake and maybe RedHat might be requiring stuff from 
Cooker/Whatever which is very bad (if true).
