Enrico,

Can't remember from the top of my head a trick to skip gpg-signatures.  In Fedora rawhide the gpgcheck should be set to 0.  You can become su - or use 
$ su -c 'vi /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-rawhide.repo 

and remove the 1 and make it a zero

[root at localhost yum.repos.d]# cat fedora-rawhide.repo 
# These packages are untested and still under development. This
# repository is used for development of new releases.
#
# This repository can see significant daily turnover and major
# functionality changes which cause unexpected problems with other
# development packages. Please use these packages if you want to work
# with the Fedora developers by testing these new development packages.
#
# fedora-test-list at redhat.com is available as a discussion forum for
# testing and troubleshooting for development packages in conjunction
# with new test releases.

That should get KDE installed.  Make it a zero and save the file, try to install KDE again.  Hope this helps.
