I don't run either KDE or Gnome here, so I can help only a little with the
DEbian parts.
Assuming you are using the apt-* tools for package management, you probably
want to apt-get install kdebase . (At least this is right for Sid; Woody is
probably the same in this respect.) If its installer is any good, it will
either ask appropriate questions to get you to replace Gnome with KDE, or
it will do so without asking (less likely but possible). Once the base
stuff is installed, you'll need to install appropriate specific
applications for kde.
This procedure will leave all the Gnome and Sawfish stuff on you hard disk
(good thing too, since you are quite likely to be running apps that use the
GTK libraries), but will probably work to get rid of them as X defaults. If
not, once you have the Debian part handled, anyone who knows Gnome and KDE
should be able to help you with further specifics.
BTW, I really hope you are not running kernel 2.4.1 ... you are more likely
to be running 2.4.19 or 2.4.20, if your installation is reasonably current
and you remembered to update from the limited installer kernel.
