Only if you install to the same location as your current KDE. Probably 
you do not want to do that, in which case you will be able to safely 
revert to your previous version if you encounter any problems.

Note that there is a small chance of losing application settings if 
there are incompatible changes in their settings; test your install 
first as a different user if you are concerned. Better still, make 
yourself a "kde" user that you use to build KDE.
