Sounds good.
Technical speeking to distribute  KDE on a CD do not requiry very much 
efforts: Download and install a full release, write a simple executable 
or batch file which inits kde and starts the desktop and one to shutdown 
kde. Mastering could be done with an usb stick.

What kind of amount you are thinking of ? Who will make the cd label and 
burn the cd's ?
