These two sections in the documentation seems contradictory:

There is no KDE version of Vim. There has been some work on a port using
the Qt toolkit, but it never worked properly and it has been abandoned.
Work continues on Yzis: www.yzis.org.
*gui-x11-kde*
For Vim-KDE, you need at least Qt(>=2.x) and the corresponding kdelibs.
To compile, you must use the --with-qt-dir configure flag because QTDIR
is not automatically detected yet. Giving KDE's directories to the configure
script may also help in some cases.
By the way, is there anyone out there that is working on a KDE version? I have
tried Kyzis a bit, but didn't really like it ...
AFAIK, development on kvim has been abandoned for good. But if you
compile gvim for GNOME/GTK (you need to enable a configure check for
Gnome in order to get that) it will even save its session when it gets
killed implicitly by turning off the computer from the K menu. Of course
you will need development versions of the Gnome and GTK libraries then,
in addition to the KDE and Qt libraries needed for KDE applications.
My SuSE 9.3 system came with kvim 6.2.14 (a badly outdated version of
Vim by now) and vim (console version) 6.3.58 (only slightly less
outdated). I compiled my own 7.0.39 Vim with GTK2-GNOME GUI and that's
what I use now.
Best regards,
