Depends on what you already have installed, Leandro.  For example, on 
install of my FC2 system I elected to install both Gnome and KDE 
desktops plus several KDE applications.  If you elected to install 
"everything" or you selected gnome and kde when installing your system, 
you already have the KDE desktop and a lot of supporting libraries.  
You, like me, could elect at boot time to boot into a kde or a gnome 
desktop,  You could also run KDE apps while running the gnome desktop, 
but time required to load those apps might be a tad slower.
