Yes.

You can just login on the first console (called tty1) and start the
graphical environment from there. It will be on the first virtual
terminal then, which can be accessed by Ctrl+Alt+F7 in standard setup.
Default is for the graphical screen to be the first "free" screen which
is not connected to a getty-process. (as far as I know)

Or, if you want to left tty1 for "further use", use Ctrl+Alt+F2 to
change to tty2, login there and issue startx from that.

In most cases the "default desktop environment" will be started, so if
you have only installed KDE, it will get the point.
