I run KDE as my default but yes you can run the KDE desktop as well as the 
Gnome one and even the Xfce desktop if you want to.  On the bottom left of 
your log-in screen you will see "options" and second down there will be 
a "select session" from which you can choose which type of session you wish 
to use.  They really are all Ubuntu, just different desktops is all!  Just 
don't make it a default is all till you know for sure and you are even really 
easily able to change the default back if you want, so no worries at all! On 
mine I have KDE, KDE4.1, Gnome, and Xfce  BTW- I'd keep my current desktop 
manage If I were you.  It will ask you about that when you add KDE to your 
system. Just to save you a little confusion.  You can easily install using 
Synaptic and you can keep using Synaptic in KDE.  I also am way more at home 
in KDE for the same reason you will be; I also have Mandriva 2008.1 on two of 
my desktop machines!
