Depends what you mean.  Gnome and Gtk programs will run in KDE provided
the libraries are installed (most people have at least Gtk+ libraries
installed).  

If you want to develop Qt/KDE apps Glade is not the best choice though
it is not totaly out of the relm of reality.  Glade output's as XML so
one could theoreticly create a libglade-qt library that translated the
Galde layout into Qt.  One could also write a plugin that outputted Qt
C++ code much like there are plugins that output python, perl and C++
Gtk+ code.  I don't know if there is a project like this yet.  The big
problem would be that Qt and Gtk+ don't have 1 to 1 widget mappings and
the fact that Glade is geared to Gtk+ mean that using glade for Qt
programs would be suboptimal.
