You can do it with a little hacking.
As root, go to /etc/X11, edit the prefdm file, look near the end where
it execs the "preferred" dm and add this line right before it.
exec /opt/kde3/bin/kdm $* >/dev/null 2>&1
Then you need to create a fndSession file for kde3 to make so that the
KDE3 kdm knows what sessions you have. I've attached mine. Install it
as /usr/sbin/fndSession3
Then do (still as root):
$ init 3
$ /usr/sbin/fndSession3
$ init 5
That's what I did and it works like a charm.... of course fndSession3
"may" use something that comes with KDE2 (I still have both installed).
If it can't find anything, let me know and I'll send that too.

Does anyone know how to make the system use KDE3's KDM instead of having to
have kde2 installed to use just kdm.. when i uninstall kdebase for kde2
