Yes. Fedora does not come with pilot-link 0.12, and KPilot requires that now 
(so as not to crash with every PalmOS device made since 2001). Maybe FC has 
patched up 0.11, I don't know.

1a. Install pilot-link from source.
1b. Install CMake.
1c. Install a bunch of -devel packages like kdepim-devel and qt-devel.
1d. Install KPilot from source.

I'm not sure if that qualifies as "not too complicated", but it is the 
recommended approach.

This will introduce a lot of new issues. You might try just downgrading KDE 
PIM, but that too will reintroduce all the problems that we had back then. 
Since you describe that it worked OK for you, that might be the simplest 
solution.
