This question would have been better suited for the fedora-test-list, as kdepim 
4 is not and will not be released as an official update for Fedora 9, it is 
only available from kde-redhat unstable and Rawhide.

Unfortunately, KPilot is not included in kdepim 4.1, it is expected to return 
in 4.2. What you can do in the meantime:
* use the kdepim-3.5.9 package (soon to be 3.5.10) from Fedora 9, which 
includes KPilot,
* if you know what you're doing, you can try extracting KPilot and the 
libraries it depends on from kdepim-3.5.9,
* try using KitchenSync instead, it's based on libopensync which also has a 
pilot-link plugin (which you may have to install, it's called 
libopensync-plugin-palm),
* try building kdepim and its dependencies (at least akonadi, kdelibs and 
kdepimlibs) from KDE trunk (4.2 pre-alpha, not recommended!).

I'm afraid (AFAIK) none of us KDE maintainers owns a PalmOS device, so all I 
can say is YMMV.
