Why do you think it shouldn't?  Would you please clarify?

Right now scim uses scim-panel-gtk by default, and it (as well as the
setup program, and the scim library they depend on) uses GTK+:
    $ ldd /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk
    ...
    libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 (0x400d9000)
    ...

It is possible to use skim (a.k.a. scim-panel-kde) in a pure KDE
environment, but that requires special packaging for scim (split the
GTK+ dependent part), and skim isn't in Debian yet due to lack of
knowledge and manpower.  Any help is welcome.

If you mean text-only or bare X applet for scim -- No, scim doesn't have
such support (yet).

Thanks for reporting,
