Edit /etc/sysconfig/desktop to include:
DISPLAYMANAGER=KDE

Edit /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess to allow access, typically, by uncommenting 
the line that says:
# *                                     #any host can get a login window

Then, edit /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc, in the [Xdmcp] section, set:
[Xdmcp]
# Whether KDM should listen to incoming XDMCP requests.
# Default is true
Enable=true

Restart X (or reboot).
