No, since QT is a complete widget library and more KDEPrint hasn't to be 
ported to CDE. The first step is install QT, the second step is to install 
KDE. KDE is cross-platform too, so there should be no problem.

I don't know about binary packages for these platforms, but they most 
certainly exist somewhere on the net. But building its own packages from 
source isn't difficult either. You may want to ask a local sysadmin if you 
can't do that task.

Ciao, Matthias
