KDE as a whole does not have an enterprise branch.
However, companies providing products build on KDE3 do have KDE3 based 
development branches (some have KDE4 based ones for future products).

For example for KDAB, a company providing PIM solutions to its customers using 
KDEPIM, it works like this:
they have a development branch (one based on KDE3 and one on KDE4) called 
"kdepim enterprise branch", e.g 
http://websvn.kde.org/branches/kdepim/enterprise/

Their maintenance and feature development happens there.
When things in there stabilize, they merge those changes back to the 
respective KDE branch, in case of KDE3 that would be KDE 3.5 branch.
(for KDE4 this usually means merge into "trunk").

For example the lastest commit to KDE 3.5 is, at the moment of writing, 3 days 
old: 
http://websvn.kde.org/branches/KDE/3.5/kdelibs/kabc/scripts/field.src.cpp?view=log

Cheers,
Kevin
