In general:
* Compatible (ie, buildable) on/for fc3, fc4, rh9, el3, el4 (we're using 
mock now, yay)
* Adds back most pieces redhat (purposely or not) omits
* All(most?) pkgs support freedesktop.org icon spec, ie, touch top-level 
icon dir on install, be nice to gtk/gnome apps and run 
gtk-udpate-icon-cache (even though this should be, IMO, automatic, see bz
* Same default (Bluecurve) theme, only slightly different defaults
* Includes additional features provided by FE and livna pkgs, 
modularized as addon subpkgs when possible (still a bit more work to do 
here)
* Aggressive stomping of libtool dependancy bloat
* All pkgs built with standard ./configure opts:
   --disable-rpath \
   --disable-gcc-hidden-visibility \
   --enable-new-ldflags \
   --disable-debug --disable-warnings \
   --disable-dependancy-tracking --enable-final

Specific differences (mostly off the top of my head):
* qt:
   use qt-copy (from kde svn), includes many patches not yet accepted 
upstream.
   make $QTDIR/doc a symlink, instead of a directory containing a bunch 
of other symlinks
* kde-i18n: provide/support all languages
* kdeartwork:
   -icons: noarch subpkg
   -icons: don't rename Locolor to locolor
* kdebase
   dbus-qt support (fc3,fc4,el4 only)
   enables "Start New Session" multiuser feature
* kdebindings:
   -dcopperl: perl-DCOP bindings subpkg (because kdesdk depends on it, 
no need to pull in *all* of kdebindings just for this)
   --with-java (FIXME/TODO: make java bits a subpkg)
* kdegraphics:
   BR: freeglut-devel (for kpovmodeler)
   BR: lcms-devel
   BR: jasper-devel
* kdelibs:
   -apidocs: noarch subpkg
   BR: jasper-devel, --with-jasper
   BR: lua, --with-lua
   BR: OpenEXR-devel, --with-openexr
   BR: mDNSResponder, zeroconf support (sorry, not submitted to FE yet)
   -menus: optional XDG menus replacement of redhat-menus, providing 
KDE's default menus (overrides via XDG_CONFIG_DIRS env variable).
   /etc/profile.d/kde.(sh|csh): includes optional KDE_ env variables for 
tweakers: KDE_IS_PRELINKED (on), KDE_FORK_SLAVES (off), KDE_MALLOC 
(off), KDE_NO_IPV6 (off), GLIBC_FORCE_NEW (off), XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
* kdemultimedia:
   -extras: extra bits enabled via FE addons (see bz #176288)
   -nonfree: bits enabled via livna addons
* kdenetwork: BR: openslp-devel, --with-openslp
* kdepim:
   BR: gnokii-devel, --with-gnokii
   BR: gpgme-devel, --with-gpg=%{_bindir}/gpg, 
--with-gpgsm=%{_bindir}/gpgsm (bz #136533)
   BR: libmal-devel (bz #172140), --with-mal
