On most distribution I'd say that's a risky business. If oyu really like to 
keep on the bleeding edge you could take a look at Gentoo - the portage 
system does this very well.

However, if "I don't use some kind of shell or terminal" means you don't like 
working at the command line, Gentoo certainly is not for you :)

KDE has *lots* of dependencies and most frequently, upgrading to a new version 
breaks lots of things, so you'd better wait for your favorite distro to have 
a new release with 3.4.x and do a fresh installation.
