Mostly.  Exceptions below:

essential kde-pkg: BuildRequires
---------------------
arts:    qt-devel
kdelibs: qt-devel arts-devel

(*) Given for kde-3.x: Everything BuildRequires: kdelibs-devel
kde-pkg BuildRequires(*)
-------------------
kdeaddons: kdebase-devel kdegames-devel kdemultimedia-devel kdepim-devel 
kdeartwork: kdebase-devel
kdesdk: kdepim-devel
kdevelop: kdesdk-devel

Core apps depending on kde (with BuildRequires):
k3b:    kdelibs-devel
Am I missing anything?
