Do *NOT* count on any MS or MacOS port of KDE for any significant work.  The 
"port" to windows uses cygwin which is cool and all, but definitely not 
production quality.  I don't know of *any* work getting KDE working with 
MacOSX.

If you want multi-platform, then you'll be wanting pure Qt.  It works great 
with all Unice's + Windows and MacOS X.  And if a certain proposed wrapper 
library takes off, then Qt apps will act just like KDE apps if you are 
running KDE sometime after KDE 3.0 (3.1, maybe)
