Or you can just install Gnome and whenever you want to use either one just change your session.

@op - sure you can.  Use gparted to copy/paste your first partition, once you edit your grub menu.lst for it, simple boot to it and remove gnome/gnome packages and install kde4/kde4 packages.  Easy as pie.

It would be much simpler to install Gnome on the same system, and just choose between KDE and Gnome using a Login Manager such as gdm or kdm.
