Ah, missed the fc2 bit, so no Fedora Extras/rpm.livna.org is strictly 
required. 

However, kde-redhat no longer officially supports legacy releases (like 
fc2), however... it appears you're simply hitting some old yum 
not-resolving-all-dependancies bugs.  I can assure you that all required 
(yet yum-claiming-to-be-missing) dependancies *are* in the kde-redhat 
fc2 repo, including, but not limited to
qt-3.3.4
OpenEXR
redhat-artwork
redhat-menus
libmusicbrainz
libtunepimp
jasper
lcms
openslp
xine-lib
libmal
graphviz
mDNSResponder
meanwhile
gnokii
gpgme
pinentry
qscintilla

though, it appears you have a pretty hodge-podge system... having 
upgraded to xorg-6.8.1, and installed sane-backends from tarball, so 
things probably won't ever go smootly.

If you have further questions/problems, I'd suggest posting to 
kde-redhat-users at lists.sourceforge.net.  Lot's of helpful folks there 
who have been through some of these same issues.
